SyncBox/PTPv2/MC:
PTP/IEEE 1588 Slave Clock

The Meinberg SyncBox/PTP simplifies a migration towards PTP/IEEE 1588 by providing a wide range of legacy time synchronization outputs
This Product is replaced by SyncBox N2X

Key Features:

  • IEEE 1588-2008 (PTP V2) compatible ordinary clock
  • Supported Protocols: IPv4, PTP/IEEE 1588-2008, DHCP, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, SSH, SCP, TELNET
  • PPS and 10MHz Outputs
  • Generates several different modulated (AM) and unmodulated (DCLS) IRIG time code signals

The Meinberg SyncBox/PTPv2 simplifies a migration towards PTP/IEEE 1588-2008 by providing a wide range of legacy time synchronization outputs. It is synchronized by a PTP Grandmaster and can be used as a time source for equipment that requires IRIG, PPS, 10MHz or E1 telecom carrier signals.

The SyncBox provides a high precision time base (OCXO HQ) with multiple outputs for 10MHz, PPS and IRIG via TCP/IP network, synchronized by a PTP IEEE1588 grandmaster reference clock. The interfaces provided by the SyncBox/MC are accessible via connectors in the front panel of the case.

A simplified LINUX operating system is installed on the single-board computers flash disk. After the network connection has been established the timeserver can also be configured and monitored remotely from a workstation via TELNET or SSH. An integrated HTTP server enables access to the SyncBox by using an ordinary WEB browser. The security-related features of the SyncBox satisfy highest demands.
