1PPS input or output and ToD input or output—The interface is used for input or output of Time-of-Day (ToD) and 1PPS pulses. ToD format includes both NTP and IEEE 1588-2008 time formats.
The same RS422 pins for 1PPS and ToD are shared between the input and output directions. The direction for each can be independently configurable through software.
BITS input or output—The BITS interfaces support clock recovery from either a T1 at 1.544MHz or an E1 at 2.048MHz, configurable by software.
Timing Interfaces Card with GNSS module has an in-built ESD protection on all pins, including the RF-input pin. However, extra surge protection is required if an outdoor antenna is to be connected.

The lightning protector must support a low clamping voltage (less than 600V).
A lightning protection must be mounted at the place where the antenna cable enters the building. The primary lightning protection must be capable of conducting all potentially dangerous electrical energy to Protective Earth (PE).
Surge arrestor must support DC-pass and suitable for the GNSS frequency range (1.575GHz) with low attenuation.

Compensation of losses on the cable
Lifting the signal amplitude to the suitable range for the receiver frontend
The amplification required is 22dB gain + cable/connector loss + Splitter signal loss.
The recommended range of LNA gain (- cable/connector loss) is 22–30dB with a minimum of 20dB and a maximum of 35dB, at the connector of the receiver module.
Timing Interfaces Card with GNSS module provides 5V to the active antenna through the same RF input.
Surge requirement:
Timing Interfaces Card with GNSS modules have built-in ESD protections on all pins, including the RF-input pin. However, extra surge protection may be required if rooftop antennas are to be connected, to meet the regulations and standards for lightning protection of countries where the end-product is installed.
A lightning protection must be mounted at the place where the antenna cable enters the building. The primary lightning protection must be capable of conducting all potentially dangerous electrical energy to protective earth (PE).
Surge arrestors should support DC-pass and suitable for the Timing Interfaces Card with GNSS frequency range (1.575GHz) with low attenuation.
Antenna Sky visibility:
Timing Interfaces Card with GNSS signals can only be received on a direct line of sight between antenna and satellite. The antenna must have a clear view of the sky. For proper timing, minimum of four satellites should be locked.
![]() Note |
The antenna terminal should be earthed at the building entrance in accordance with the ANSI/NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code (NEC), in particular Section 820.93, Grounding of Outer Conductive Shield of a Coaxial Cable. |
Use a passive splitter if more than one Timing Interfaces Card with GNSS module is fed from a single antenna.
![]() Note |
The splitter should have at least one RF port capable of DC-pass, and an antenna should be connected to that port, if the antenna needs to feed power from 8000-TIC-GNSS. |
As packet timing requirements emerged, the ITU-T developed the Primary Reference Time Clock (PRTC) standard for time and phase for transport over a packet network and this standard is known as G.8272.

The performance specified in the following table also applies to the output of the combined PRTC and T-GM function when integrated into a single piece of equipment. Therefore, for both the PRTC-A and PRTC-B, there’s no additional (performance) allowance for the inclusion of the T-GM function. |

There’s no standardized requirement for holdover, it’s up to the implementation. Some standalone PRTC devices have very-high quality quartz oscillators or even a Rubidium oscillator as an option to allow an option for extended holdover. Redundancy is provided through network design instead of relying on holdover performance from expensive oscillators.
According to the standards, there are only a few differences between the two classes of clock. Meeting those requirements may result in different implementations, which may influence the cost of the device.
To achieve improved performance, PRTC-B is typically implemented with a two-band GNSS receiver instead of a single-band receiver. The “traditional” band for GPS signals in the L1 band, while the newer devices receive signals in the L2 band.

The router supports four dry contact alarm inputs through an RJ45 jack at the back panel.
The alarm condition is normally open, which indicates that no current flows through the alarm circuit, and the alarm is generated when the current is flowing. Each alarm input can be provisioned as being critical, major, or minor.
A single USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle on the front panel of the router provides console access to Uboot flash for Cisco software and diagnostics. While it uses the Type-A connector, it operates as a USB peripheral only for connection to an external host computer. This interface requires the use of a Type-A to Type-A connector instead of a standard USB cable.

The RS232 console port in RJ45 form factor on the rear panel of the router provides, transmission (Tx), reception (Rx), and ground (Gnd) information.
The router supports the following Online Insertion and Removal (OIR) operations:
When an SFP is removed, there’s no effect on traffic flowing on other ports.
When an SFP is installed, there’s no effect on traffic flowing on other ports, the system initializes that port for operation based on the current configuration. If the inserted SFP is incompatible with the current configuration of that port, the port doesn’t become operational until the configuration is updated.
When both power supplies are installed and active, the load may be shared between them, or a single PSU supports the whole load. When a power supply isn’t working or the input cable is removed, the remaining power supply takes the entire load without disruption.
Both the PSUs are field replaceable units and when one PSU is removed or installed there’s no functional impact to the router.
