Dear all,

Do any one still using Cisco 7200 as NTP master? and get ref clock from
Microsemi GPS TOD via Aux port

I used to have a TimeSource3600 to feed TOD to a Cisco7204VXR, but the
TS3600 was dead, and I TimeSource3550 was installed.

But I found the 7204 cannot get a reliable PPS from the TS3550.

In 7204, I use below command:
line aux 0
 ntp refclock telecom-solutions pps cts stratum 0
 no exec
 transport input all
 stopbits 1
line vty 0 4
 exec-timeout 20 0
!
ntp access-group query-only 95
ntp access-group peer 96
ntp access-group serve 97
ntp access-group serve-only 98
ntp master

In TS3550, I set the TOD format to Cisco, and a TOD converter was installed.

The 7204 can sync to GPS after a reboot. but after some time (form min. to
an hour) it will lost sync to GPS and said "Bad Time" or "No PPS signal" in
sh ntp asso detail" and sh line aux wil indicate alot of "noise" & "overrun"

I had replace the 7204, reboot the TS3550, replace TOD converter and
related cable.but no luck. Any idea?

Dear Mark Allwright, Can I have your "Application Note 600"?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Best Reg.

Bob
