Chapter 4 Provisioning the TimeProvider
Starting the TimeProvider for the First Time
90 TimeProvider User’s Guide 097-58001-02 Revision G – April 2008
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
