Front Panel Interface Chapter 1: General Information

1.12Front Panel Interface

This section provides a general description of TimeVault’s front panel input devices. For details about how to enter commands and interpret display readouts, see “Overview and Format” on page 4-49.

TimeVault’s front panel is your primary interface with the system. Input is through six keypad buttons (four directional, SET-UPand SAVE). Output is through the two-line,

20-character alphanumeric display (see Figure 1-1,below). The letter at the end of the output date line indicates the synchronization source in use (G for GPS, A for ACTS and N for NTP).

Two front panel mounted, tri-color LEDs reflect the status of TimeVault. The system status indicator at the left end of the front panel has five different displays:

If the System Status Displays...	It Means...
Solid Red	No signal from time sources,
	or major alarm fault detected
Solid Orange	TimeVault is synchronized to Network Time
	Servers through NTP
Blinking Green	The primary or secondary synchronization
	source(s) is fully operational

Possible causes and solutions for problems resulting in a solid red or solid orange display are discussed in “LED System Status Alerts” on page 5-89.

The connection active indicator, labeled “ACT” and located to the right of the NET Port’s RJ-45 plug, indicates the connection speed on the NET Port.
