1. Quick installation
This part contains the minimum information for the set-up of the LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced. You
can found additional information in part 3.

 Check the package content


The package must contains the following items:
n The product itself: a 19” 1U rack.
• The name of this product is LEDI 1/S/RK ENHANCED which is written on
the front side of the rack;
• The code and configuration of the product can be checked on the
identification stamp put on top or backside of the product. It must be
9213/opt (where opt depends on the output cards – see Appendix E –
Data - Stamp contents).

o A power supply cable (only for 220V AC and 115V AC versions);

p A network cable;

q A CDROM that contains set-up and management tools.

* Contact your dealer if one of the items above isn’t in the package

 Connect the product


n It is highly recommended that you notice the serial number (written on
identification stamp), the localization and a short description for the product.
The table in You can use the table in Appendix F – Additional documents

o Connect the synchronization outputs to your equipment (see Appendix A –


Connections for more information);

p Connect the LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced to your network using the network cable;

q Connect the LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced to a power supply using the power
supply cable when it is present.

Your system should work immediately if there is a DHCP server on your network. After a
few seconds, the LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced activates its outputs.
However, Gorgy Timing recommends you to fill-in for each product its physical localization.
This is possible using the GTNetMng tool localized on the CD-ROM. For more information,
see part 1.2.

LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced FOR19/A/466N

2. Set-up your product


2.1. Manual network configuration

Gorgy Timing Network products are configured in factory to automatically get an IP address.
Two mechanisms are used:
1. If a DHCP server is present on your network, our products get an address
automatically. This ensures that the IP address is compatible with your network;
2. If no DHCP server is present, the product automatically takes an IP address using the
AutoIP mechanism. In this case, the address is in the range 169.254.x.y (where x and
y are in the 0..255 range). If both server and client have started in this mode, they
should work correctly together but their IP addresses may be incompatible with other
devices on the network.1

The default DHCP identifier is LEnnnnnn (nnnnnn is the serial number of the product).2 You
can change this identifier with the GTNetMng tool or through the WEB interface as described
in part 1.2 and 2.2.

If you don’t have a DHCP server or you want to configure yourself the network parameters,
use the GTNetMng tool on the CDROM to change the network parameter. Please refer to
part 1.2 for more information.

* Don’t hesitate to contact your network administrator for the configuration of the
LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced. He can help you to optimize your network installation

2.2. Output card configuration

The default configuration for all the output cards is to deliver UTC time. The time received
from the synchronization input is directly sent to the output in UTC format.

Each card can be configured to output several local times. This configuration is done through
a WEB browser (see part 2).

1
For example, you may not have the possibility to configure the LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced from a WEB
navigator.
2
Some DHCP servers have the ability to copy the DHCP name into the DNS. In this case, you can
access the LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced directly by its DHCP name instead of its IP address.

FULL SETUP
3

This part contains information for a full configuration of the product. It should be used for fine
network configuration and output cards set-up.

1. Network configuration
1.1. Default configuration

The LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced is configured to automatically take an IP address from a DHCP
server. At startup, the product broadcast a DHCP query to get an IP address. This query
contains a DHCP name. There are two cases:
• If a DHCP server is installed on the network, it record the DHCP name and return an
IP address. The LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced starts working with this address;
• If no DHCP server is installed, the LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced automatically use a default
IP address in the range 169.254.x.y (where x and y are between 0 and 255).

The default DHCP identifier of the product is LEnnnnnn with nnnnnn, the serial number on
6 digits. The serial number is written on the identification stamp on the top or on the bottom
of the product.

The default SNMP name of the product (that can be seen from a SNMP browser (see part 6)
or from a WEB browser) is LediNetEnhnnnnnn with nnnnnn, the serial number on 6 digits.

7/79
LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced FOR19/A/466N

1.2. Changing network parameters

Use the GTNetMng tool provided on the CDROM to configure your device:

n Insert the CDROM in the drive. Start the GTNetMng tool that is localized in
the directory Common\Configuration3

o The GTNetMng tool displays automatically the Gorgy Timing products


installed on your network. Each line contains information about one
connected product as shown below:

Name, serial number network mask MAC address DHCP identifier


Current IP address
and localization

p Double-click on the line related to the product you want to configure. The
following panel is displayed:

Name of the device (GT LEDI 1/S/RK


Enhanced) -- Serial number (040204)
Localization (Test Line)
Ethernet (MAC) address of the

Localization of the product

q Set the network parameters and physical localization and click the Set!
button.

3
For example, if your CD reader has letter E:, the GTNetMng tool is localized in
E:\Common\Configuration\GTNetMng.exe

LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced FOR19/A/466N

1.3. Integration in your network

You don’t have to change any network setting for the following cases:
• You have a DHCP server and enough reserved IP address for the product;
• You don’t have a DHCP server but you don’t need to access to the device through its
WEB or SNMP interface. In this case, the AutoIP mechanism will automatically affect
an IP address but this address will probably be incompatible with your network.
Anyway if several devices work with AutoIP, they could works together.

Some DHCP servers have the capacity to register the device in the DNS. In this case, the
registered name is the DHCP identifier. Then, you can access to the device from your WEB
or SNMP browser. For example if you give the DHCP name ntpsrv1 to your LEDI 1/S/RK
Enhanced, you can simply type ntpsrv1 in the address field of your WEB browser.

If you have several products to install on your installation, it is highly recommended to follow
the following steps:
• Use the document provided in Appendix F – Additional documents (Summarized
installation view) and note the serial number and physical localization of each product
during the installation and connection;
• On a PC connected on the same network that the products and start GTNetMng. All
the GT products should appear with their serial number. Set the network parameter
and localization using the document filled at previous step.
• You can keep this document for further reference.

You can found the summarized installation view document in a WORD format on the
CD-ROM. Its full path is English\LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced\docs\installation.doc.

2. Output card configuration


2.1. Introduction

Your LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced is provided with up to 4 output cards. Each card acts as a kind
of translator that receives time from the synchronization input and generates specific time
code.

Currently, there are 7 kinds of cards:


• ASCII+TOP RS232 (‘A’ type card) ;
• ASCII+TOP RS485 (‘R’ type card) ;
• AFNOR NFS 87500 / IRIGB (‘B’ type card) ;
• AFNOR /IRIGB TTL / RS422 (‘T’ type card) ;
• ALARM (‘G’ type card) ;
• SMPTE/EBU (‘S’ type card).
• 4/6 TOPS 1000Hz (‘H’ type card).

You can freely use and copy the table Devices configuration in Appendix F – Additional
documents.

2.2. Default configuration

When you receive this product from Gorgy Timing, all the output cards are configured to
output UTC time and time is constant all along the year (no Day Saving Time correction).
The display is managed as an output cards and can be configured in the same way.

2.3. Change the settings

Open the WEB site of the LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced (see part 5). Click on the
button. The current configuration of your product appears at the screen:

WEB INTERFACE
5

1. Presentation
The LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced can be configured and supervised through a WEB interface.
This interface provides you with the following features:
• Management of network parameters;
• Management of SNMP parameters;
• Management and diagnostic of output cards.

Each LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced has its own WEB server that delivers WEB pages. The WEB
site is a JAVA applet; if needed, you can find a JVM on the CDROM in the directory
Common\JAVA.

To access the WEB site, type-in the address of the LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced in the address
field of your WEB browser (as shown below) and validate the input.4

It takes about 20 seconds to load of the JAVA applet. If the load fails, it can be for one of the
following reasons:
1. The IP address is invalid;
2. A network problem5 prevent your computer to contact the LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced;
3. You don’t have a JVM engine installed on your computer.

For the first two reasons, you have to check for the IP address of the LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced
and your network configuration. For the last reason, you have to install the JVM (see
directory Common\JAVA on the CDROM).

4
If you have configured your LEDI Network Enhanced in DHCP mode and that your server
automatically register DHCP name in the DNS, you can also use the DHCP name instead of the IP
address
5
Try to “ping” the LEDI Network Enhanced. If the ping works correctly but you cannot open the WEB
site, check especially the configuration of your Internet Explorer.

Offset to apply to UTC time

The previous picture shows the configuration panel for an AFNOR/IRIG-B. In addition, the
description contains identification and version of the program embedded in the output card
(there, it’s the program NTPSAFN1, version 0252).

Each output card can be configured independently through the following parameters :

• Output deactivation
Except for the display, all the output cards can be deactivated. The deactivation has
the following effects :
o For ASCII+TOP card, the time frame is not generated and the TOP outputs
are in the open state;
o For AFNOR output, the carrier is not modulated.
o The ALARM output doesn’t generate warning signal.
o The 1000Hz output is not generated

• Time Zone
The “Time Zone” is a time offset that can be added or subtracted from the time
received through the synchronization input (which is converted into UTC time) to
generate local time. For example in France, local time is GMT + 1:00.

• Day Saving Time


In addition to the Time Zone, many countries apply a Day Saving Time correction.
The year is made of two areas: in summer time, 1 hour more is added to the time
(after Time Zone correction), in winter time only the Time zone correction is applied.
Don’t forget to select the appropriate country in the WEB interface.

Here are the different DST policies :

European Union Start: Last Sunday in March at 1 am UTC


End: Last Sunday in October at 1 am UTC
USA / Canada / Mexico / St. Johns / Start: First Sunday in April
Bahamas / Turks / Caicos End: Last Sunday in October
Australia – Standard Start: Last Sunday in October

2.5. Input setup

When you click on the Input button, the input configuration of the LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced is
displayed as shown below:

• Run autonomously

Check this box if you want that your LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced works autonomously,
independently of the time on input. Then press “Set Up!” : the device reboots, and
you can set the actual date like shown below. Validate your date by pressing “Set the
date” :

Note: this mode is useful for synchronization tests, or if you don’t have a
synchronization source. However, the date is not exact, and the accuracy is not
guarantied.

27/79
LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced FOR19/A/466N

• Local Time on input

In some cases, the device is not synchronized on an UTC time source but on a local
time source for example. Then you need to configure the time zone from the
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), and the Day Saving Time policy of the source.

For example in France, the local time is UTC+1 hour in winter and UTC+2 in summer.
Here is the needed configuration:

Offset from UTC : +1h00


DST : European Union

If you use an UTC time source, keep the “Local time on input” checkbox unchecked.

• Autonomy

If the time source is lost, the device can work in autonomous mode. When the
autonomy time end is reached, the device stops to provide time on his outputs. You
can choose the autonomous duration :

Automatic : the device computes his autonomy duration automatically, to be sure to


provide an accurate time.

User defined : define yourself the autonomy duration. You can choose an infinite
autonomy to avoid synchronization losses in your installation.

Note: don’t forget to press the “Set Up!” button after each change you make!

SNMP INTERFACE
6

1. Presentation
The LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced provides a SNMP v1 interface for fine monitoring and
diagnostic. The SNMP protocol allows the supervision of a device through the network. Two
kind of information are available through a SNMP interface:
• A set of variables that can be read. These variables are stored together in a database
(MIB) organized in a hierarchical way. The variables are set by the software to reflect
its internal states;
• Some traps that can be generated by the software to indicate important state
modification.

There is two important parts in the MIB:


• A general-purpose branch named System. This branch is MIB II compatible;
• A private branch that contains information specific to the LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced
product.

Private MIBs are described with .MIB files. A .MIB file is provided on the CDROM in the
directory English\LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced\MIB:

• The file GtNtpOutBus.mib contains the description of the information related to the
output cards and the display – Localization in the MIB:

iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1).gorgy(8955).hardware(2).ntpOutBus(1)

APPENDIX C – TROUBLESHOOTING
9

This section tries to answer to most frequent question concerning the use of your device.
First, ensure that the GTNetManager software and a SUN JAVA Virtual Machine 1.4.2_X
minimum are installed on your computer.

GtNetManager can’t see the server ?

1. At least one LED above the Ethernet plug must be set or blinking. Otherwise, there is a
network connexion problem, or a power problem.

2. If you use several VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network), verify that the device is on the
same VLAN than your computer.

3. Verify that the IP address of your computer and the one of the server are in the same
range. The network mask should be identical.

For example, the server configuration is :


IP : 192.168.10.85 and MASK : 255.255.255.0

Then your computer configuration should be :


IP : 192.168.10.x and MASK : 255.255.255.0 (where x is between 0
and 255).

Î DHCP ADDRESSING
The default IP configuration of the server is in DHCP mode. If DHCP is set, see below.

Î FIXED ADDRESS IS LOST


If you have lost the IP address you fixed to the server, you can use the MAC address
(see next question).

Î FIXED ADDRESS IS UNREACHABLE


If you cannot reach the server at the IP address you fixed, there should be an IP address
conflict with an other device connected to the network. You can use a cross cable to
connect directly to the server.

58/79
LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced FOR19/A/466N

4. Is there a running DHCP server on the network or on your computer ?

Î YES
The server asks the DHCP server for an IP address at start-up. Maybe the server
started before being connected to the network. Start-up again the server and try
again.

Î NO
You can eventually download a DHCP server on Internet (www.telecharger.com).
Otherwise see below to continue without DHCP.

5. When no DHCP server is reachable, the server takes automatically an IP address in the
range 169.254.x.y. You need to change your computer IP to the same range (for
example 169.254.0.1) and a network mask 255.255.0.0. You can eventually use a cross
cable.

The server is detected :

Î YES
You can now configure your server through the WEB page.

Î NO
The server is maybe in fixed IP address mode.

How acceding to the server using its MAC address ?

The physical address (MAC) of the Ethernet interface is written on the bottom. It is a 12-
hexadecimal number (for example 00-20-4a-82-8c-1d).

In a command window, type :

arp -s 192.168.10.53 00-20-4a-82-8c-1d


then :
telnet 192.168.10.53 1

The server is fixed temporarily at the IP address 192.168.10.53. You can now configure its IP
address through the WEB page or GtNetManager.

59/79
LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced FOR19/A/466N

The WEB page can’t be opened ?

1. First, is the server reachable with GTNetManager ?

Î YES
Your computer and the server should have the same IP range and the same network
mask.

Î NO
See previous question.

2. If you use the SUN Java virtual Machine 1.4.2_x, go to:

Start Menu->Settings->ControlPanel->Java Plug-in->Advanced - select JRE 1.4.2_


Start Menu->Settings->ControlPanel->Java Plug-in->Cache - Uncheck “Enable Caching"

For the 1.5.0 version :

Start-> Parameters->Configuration Panel->Java->"Temporary Internet Files" -


Parameters->Show applets->Uncheck "Activate caching"

3. Has the page been found by the browser (the loading begins but fails after a while) ?

Î NO, PAGE NOT FOUND


If you use “Internet Explorer”, go to :

Tools Æ Internet Options Æ Connections Æ Network Parameters

The browser should not use proxy ; uncheck all checkboxes.

Î YES
WEB page is reachable, but the browser is unable to load it. Open a TELNET
session:

Telnet < ip address> 9999


Password : gtmt

Proceed to a “Factory Default”, then “Quit and save”. Refresh the WEB page.

60/79
LEDI 1/S/RK Enhanced FOR19/A/466N

An output is not visible in the configuration WEB page ?

1. Press ‘F5’ to refresh the WEB page, and go back to output panel. If the output is still
missing, see next point.

2. Open a TELNET session:

Telnet < ip address> 9999


Password : gtmt

Proceed to a “Factory Default”, then “Quit and save”. Refresh the WEB page.

3. If the output is still missing, open the device. Check the black cables connections and the
switches configurations (see Appendix D – MAINTENANCE / Output card switches
verification).

The screen displays “no time code!” or “NO TIME CODE!” ?

Verify your time source because the device is not synchronized.

Notice : in case of GPS synchronization and OCXO oscillator, wait 20 minutes during the
warm up of the OCXO and the satellites discovery.
