1. Introduction
Functional Overview
The EdgeSync is a small form factor, highly accurate Multi-Sync Gateway that provides IEEE 1588-
2008 PTP Grand Master and Boundary Clock functionality. IEEE 1588-2008 PTP is also known as PTP
Version 2.
Figure 1 The EdgeSync
EdgeSync gets its time from the built-in GNSS receiver or 1PPS/ToD input or IEEE 1588-2008 PTP as
input references. PTP algorithms are leveraged to deliver stringent timing for frequency and phase
profiles. Outputs include IEEE 1588-2008 PTP, selectable FREQ Out, 1PPS, and Time of Day (ToD).
EdgeSync will provide holdover depending on the chosen built-in oscillator.
Remote control and monitoring are provided over SSH, Web Interface and SNMP (v2, v3).

4. Locate and save the printed packaging list and paperwork that is included in the box.
5. Remove the EdgeSync from the box and place the unit on an anti-static surface.
6. Locate and set aside additional parts which may be contained in the box.

10 | EdgeSync Manual rev 1 orolia.com
7. Remove and dispose of the anti-static packaging from the EdgeSync and parts.
8. Verify that the model and serial number shown on the packaging list agrees with the model and
serial number on the EdgeSync. The model number can be found on a label affixed on the back
of EdgeSync. Contact Orolia or your Orolia distributor if the model or serial number do not
match.
Rack Mounting the EdgeSync
The EdgeSync is half of a 19-inch rack, and occupies 1.75 in (4.5 cm, 1RU) of vertical rack space. An
optional mounting bracket is available.
Warning: When rack mounting the EdgeSync, use the original mounting screws provided with the
mounting bracket so that the EdgeSync case will not be damaged. Do not substitute other mounting
screws.
Power and Ground Connections
Power
The EdgeSync uses two VDC power sources, primary and backup. One or both power sources can be
used. The power source can be 34 – 60 VDC. The VDC power connector uses two power feed lines,
PWR A and PWR B. EdgeSync comes equipped with 2 Phoenix connectors to supply PWR A and PWR
B and the user needs to connect the two terminals of it to their DC +/- supplies. The EdgeSync can also
be powered by two VAC power sources, with 28 – 40 VAC supply.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
All operation, test and performance references and specifications that Orolia, Inc. makes in its
EdgeSync customer documents, and on its label, and to certification authorities are based on actual
measurements ONLY when operated with the power supplies that Orolia provides or offers as an
optional accessory. If operated with other brands and/or different specifications of power supplies,
Orolia will NOT guarantee EdgeSync’s proper operation, functionality or its compliance with the stated
standards!
Ground
The EdgeSync ground is a 4 mm ground stud and is identified with the international ground marking as
shown on Figure
3 . This ground wire should be routed to earth ground.
Input / Output Signal Connections
Management
Using a standard CAT5 cable, connect the cable to the port labelled MGMT of the front panel to your
network. The data rate is 10/100 Base-T shielded RJ45 receptacle. The Management port supports
both forms of IP address assignment, static or DHCP.

orolia.com EdgeSync Manual rev 1 | 11
Console
A mini-USB connector labelled Console is available for EdgeSync to have a serial connection to a PC or
laptop. The user can connect to EdgeSync console via terminal emulation applications on PC like Tera
Term, PuTTy, minicom or Procomm to access the CLI over the serial port.
FREQ Out
BNC connector to port labelled FREQ Out to provide syntonized selectable frequencies output from
EdgeSync. The FREQ Out is DC Blocked.
Timing outputs, 1PPS
A configurable 1PPS is provided on a BNC connector, labelled 1PPS. Connect the 1PPS signal output to
a frequency counter or any other measuring device.
Timing inputs/outputs, ToD / 1PPS
An RJ45 port is provided, labelled ToD / 1PPS. These ports are configurable to provide input or output
for ToD / 1PPS. Both, the ToD format and the 1PPS signal are configurable. Refer to [2] for details of
the timing ports physical/electrical characteristics.
PTP Port 1 and Port 2
One shielded RJ45 copper port and one SFP port is provided in parallel for Port 1. Likewise, one
shielded RJ45 copper port and one SFP port is provided in parallel for Port 2. These ports provide PTP
protocol messages to the timing network. See Gateway and Boundary clock Section of this User Guide
for information on how the PTP Port 1 and Port 2 perform when the Clock Type Mode is configured as
Gateway or Boundary clock. Selecting the Clock Type Mode is described in the PTP :: Clock Section of
this User Guide.
Connecting GNSS Antenna
Connect a suitable GNSS antenna, making sure the antenna has a clear view of the sky. When the GNSS
receiver has good reception, the GNSS LED will be green. EdgeSync provides 5.0 VDC bias to power
remote active antennas.
The GNSS antenna connector is a female SMA with external threads. Once the GNSS antenna is
connected to EdgeSync antenna port, the GNSS operation can be configured and monitored in the
Interface :: GNSS Section of this User Guide.
Applying Power
EdgeSync does not have a power switch, so power should not be applied until the Ground connector is
installed and connected to earth ground. To avoid accidental power up of the EdgeSync, please re-
check and ensure all connections are made including the Ground connector, before enabling external
power to EdgeSync.
