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 SAASM GB-GRAM 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, PTP v2, and NTP. Zyfer Monitor (FEI-Zyfer's remote access utility) provides complete remote control, including system status, setup, alarm logging and user management over a standard TCP/IP connection.
