<h2><font size="+1">GPS Receiver</font></h2>
The Palisade GPS receiver is an 8-channel smart antenna, housing the GPS receiver, antenna and interface in a single unit, and is designed for rooftop deployment in static timing applications.
<p>Palisade generates a PPS synchronized to UTC within +/- 100 ns. The Palisade's external event input with 40 nanosecond resolution is utilized by the Palisade NTP driver for asynchronous precision time transfer.</p>
<p>No user initialization of the receiver is required. This driver is compatible with the following versions of Palisade:<br> </p>

<dl>
Note: When using Palisade 26664-00, you must set fudge flag2 to 1 in <b>ntp.conf</b>. See <a href="#Configuration">configuration</a>.
</dl>
<dl>
<h3><font size="+1">GPS <a name="Installation"></a>Installation</font></h3>
A location with unobstructed view of the horizon is recommended. Palisade is designed to be securely mounted atop standard 3/4 inch threaded pipe.
<p>The 12 conductor (dia. 10 mm) power and I/O cable must be routed from the rooftop site to the NTP server and properly strain relieved.</p>
<h3><font size="+1">GPS <a name="Connection"></a>Connection</font></h3>
The Palisade is equipped with dual (A & B) RS-422 serial interfaces and a differential TTL PPS output. An RS-232 / RS-422 Interface Module is supplied with the Palisade NTP Synchronization Kit. Palisade <a href="#PortA">port A</a> must be connected to the NTP host server. Maximum antenna cable length is 500 meters. See the <a href="#Pinouts">pinouts</a> table for detailed connection Information.
<p>Palisade's <a href="#PortB">port B</a> provides a TSIP (Trimble Standard Interface Protocol) interface for diagnostics, configuration, and monitoring. Port B and the PPS output are not currently used by the Palisade NTP reference clock driver.<br> </p>
</dl>
</dl>
<h2><font size="+1">O/S Serial Port Configuration</font></h2>
The driver attempts to open the device <b><tt><a href="#REFID">/dev/palisade<i>u</i></a></tt></b> where <b><i>u</i></b> is the NTP refclock unit number as defined by the LSB of the refclock address. Valid refclock unit numbers are 0 - 3.
<p>The user is expected to provide a symbolic link to an available serial port device. This is typically performed by a command such as:</p>
<blockquote>
<tt>ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/palisade0</tt></blockquote>
Windows NT does not support symbolic links to device files. COM<b>x</b>: is used by the driver, based on the refclock unit number, where unit 1 corresponds to COM<b>1</b>: and unit 3 corresponds to COM3:<br>
<h2><a name="Configuration"></a><font size="+1">NTP Configuration</font></h2>

<h2><a name="TimeTransfer"></a><font size="+1">Time Transfer and Polling</font></h2>
Time transfer to the NTP host is performed via the Palisade's comprehensive time packet output. The time packets are output once per second, and whenever an event timestamp is requested.
<p>The driver requests an event time stamp at the end of each polling interval, by pulsing the RTS (request to send) line on the serial port. The Palisade GPS responds with a time stamped event packet.</p>
<p>Time stamps are reported by the Palisade with respect to UTC time. The GPS receiver must download UTC offset information from GPS satellites. After an initial UTC download, the receiver will always start with correct UTC offset information.<br> </p>
<h2><font size="+1">Run NTP in Debugging Mode</font></h2>
The following procedure is recommended for installing and testing a Palisade NTP driver:
<ol>
<li>Perform initial checkout procedures. Place the GPS receiver outdoors; with clear view of the sky. Allow the receiver to obtain an UTC almanac.
<li>Verify presence of timing packets by observing the 1 Hz (PPS) led on the interface module. It should flash once per second.
<li>Connect Palisade's port A to the NTP host.
<li>Configure NTP and the serial I/O port on the host system.
<li>Initially use <tt><a href="#flag2">fudge flag2</a></tt> in <b><a href="#Configuration">ntp.conf</a>,</b> to disable event polling (see configuration).
<li>Run NTP in debug mode (-d -d), to observe Palisade_receive events.
<li>The driver reports the <a href="#TrackingStatus">tracking status of the receiver</a>. Make sure it is tracking several satellites.
<li>Remove fudge flag2 and restart <b>ntpd</b> in debug mode to observe palisade_receive events.
<li>If event polling fails, verify the <a href="#Pinouts">connections</a> and that the host hardware supports RTS control.
</ol>
<h2><font size="+1">Event Logging</font></h2>
System and Event log entries are generated by NTP to report significant system events. Administrators should monitor the system log to observe NTP error messages. Log entries generated by the Palisade NTP reference clock driver will be of the form:
<blockquote>
<pre>Nov 14 16:16:21 terrapin ntpd[1127]: Palisade #0: <i>message</i></pre>
</blockquote>
<h2><font size="+1">Fudge Factors</font></h2>
<dl>
<dt><a name="time1"></a><tt><font size="+1"><a href="#Configuration">time1 <i>time</i></a></font></tt>
<dd>Specifies the time offset calibration factor, in seconds and fraction, with default 0.0. If event capture is not used, time1 should be set to 20 milliseconds to correct serial line and operating system delays incurred in capturing time stamps from the synchronous packets.
<dt><tt><font size="+1">stratum <i>number</i></font></tt>
<dd>Specifies the driver stratum, in decimal from 0 to 15, with default 0.
<dt><tt><font size="+1"><a href="#REFID">refid <i>string</i></a></font></tt>
<dd>Specifies the driver reference identifier, <b>GPS</b>.
<dt><a name="flag2"></a><tt><font size="+1"><a href="#Configuration">flag2 0 | 1</a></font></tt>
<dd>When set to 1, driver does not use hardware event capture. The synchronous packet output by the receiver at the beginning of each second is time stamped by the driver. If triggering the event pulse fails, the driver falls back to this mode automatically.
</dl>
<h2><font size="+1">Mode Parameter</font></h2>
<dl>
<dt><tt><font size="+1">mode <i>number</i></font></tt>
<dd>The mode parameter to the server command specifies the specific hardware this driver is for. The default is 0 for a normal Trimble Palisade. The only other option at this time is 1 for a Endrun Praecis in Trimble emulation mode.
</dl>
<h2><font size="+1">DEFINEs</font></h2>
The following constants are defined in the driver source code. These defines may be modified to improve performance or adapt to new operating systems.<br>
