Optional Expansion Configuration

       CommSync II® Model 385

  CommSync II® is a fully-redundant modular time and frequency system combining dual GPS receivers, oscillators, and up to 13 output option modules in a single 3U chassis. The heart of the system is the GTF (GPS Time and Frequency) reference module, a hot-swappable, front panel plug-in module (with two slots available for redundancy). It is a self-contained module with Quartz Crystal (OCXO) or Rubidium Atomic oscillator options, as well as Civil or Military GPS receiver options. Dual Power Supplies and Reference Modules provide redundancy with uninterrupted automatic switchover.

Utilized as a Primary Reference Source (PRS), the CommSync II® provides either Standard Positioning Service (SPS) GPS or the very latest in GPS military technology - SAASM Precision Positioning Service (PPS) GPS receivers (for authorized users only).

With GPS as the reference source, the CommSync II provides a frequency accuracy of 1E-12 and a time accuracy of <50ns Peak to UTC.  Additional I/O slots can be utilized by configuring a slaved CommSync II with Distribution Time and Frequency (DTF) modules.

For Monitor and Control functions there is an RS-232 communications port on the front panel of the GTF/DTF module, a front panel keypad and display, as well as optional Ethernet plug-in modules providing Telnet, SNMP and Network Time Protocol. Zyfer Monitor (Zyfer's remote access utility) provides complete remote control, including system status, setup, alarm logging and user management over a standard TCP/IP connection.
