SyncBox N2X:
PTP / NTP Time Signal Converter

Key Features:

• Configuration and montoring with mbgdevman
• PTP Multicast (Power Profile compatible)
• PPO - Programmable Pulses Outputs
• Time Code AM Output
• Aluminium case for wall mount
• Serial COM port for initial configuration and time telegrams
• Option: PoE Power over Ethernet instead of DC Power Supply

The Meinberg SyncBox N2X is synchronized by a PTP Grandmaster or by a NTP Server and can be used as a time source for equipment that requires PPO (PPS, PPM, PPH, IRIG DCLS, Cyclic Pulses, Single Shot, Timer, DCF77 Mark, Time Sync, Freq. Synth./TTL, Time Slots) or serial time string for synchronization.

The SyncBox/N2X operates as a IEEE-1588 multicast slave clock or NTP client in a PTP / NTP network and with its interfaces this converter can synchronize many different systems. Our IEEE-1588 Grandmaster or LANTIME NTP Server, such the LANTIME M1000, can be used as a reliable time source.

In order to support network management systems the SyncBox offers an extensive SNMP interface, which can be accessed by SNMP V1.

It allows the monitoring of all relevant system parameters - including operating system parameters, network interface statistics, detailed NTP status information as well as the complete system configuration.

The SyncBox N2X is equipped with a high precision oscillator "TCXO". The oscillator determines the long-term stability in holdover mode, ie when the synchronization with the time source is disturbed. Oscillator update to OCXO-HQ is possible.
