Symmetricom 1100, 1000 manual Setting the Source ID sid, Setting the Response Format

Chapter 4 Provisioning the TimeProvider

Starting the TimeProvider for the First Time

This command is described in detail in Changing the Echo Mode, on page 89.

Setting the Source ID <sid>

Use the SET-SID command to change the name of the TimeProvider. This name appears in normal and error response messages sent by the unit. The default is TimeProvider.

SET-SID:::TS1000::SIDCHG=TP-SSU;

This command sets the <sid> to TP-SSU. Symmetricom recommends that you use unique names for each TimeProvider in the network. Record the name you chose for the TimeProvider in Table 4-4.

If you include the “_” (underscore) character in the name, then the TimeProvider returns the SID in quote marks.

The TimeProvider responds with:

TP-SSU 07-08-24,10:22:03 A 1167 REPT EVT

“IMC,EQPT:NA,SIDCHG,NSA,07-08-24,10-22-03:\”SYSTEM’S

SOURCE ID HAS CHANGED,TP-SSU\””

;

ED-EQPT::SYS:TS1000::EVTFORMAT=GR833;

The TimeProvider responds with:

TP-SSU 07-08-24,10:24:13 A 1167 REPT EVT

“SYS,BROADCAST,TC,07-08-24,10-24-13:\”AUTONOMOUS MESSAGE FORMAT HAS CHANGED,GR833\””
