Re: [time-nuts] Connector For Trimble/Nortel GPSTM (NTGS50AA) ?
Hi Probably the only way to find out is to buy one and see. There's very little useful stuff coming off of that connector. It might be cheaper / easier to simply wire to the few useful pins.

Hi Fred, there is only a 48Volt connection and some unknown data com I did not use any mating connector just the power in... everything is available on the front plate.

Re: [time-nuts] Connector For Trimble/Nortel GPSTM (NTGS50AA) ?
So, I gather that most folks are just connecting power to the appropriate 2 pins on the 110 position connector. I wasn't sure whether people were wiring directly to the DC converter. Thanks.

Hi That's what I have done. Cheaper and (hopefully) more reliable than a connector.

I wasn't sure whether people were wiring directly to the DC converter. Neither, in my case; I've connected to the fat PC traces that lead from the connector to the filtering and protection components. Others I'm sure will have done similarly. Incidentally, I have also taken a +12V feed to the distribution amp directly from the board, I reckoned it could spare the 40 mA or so that needs once the Oven warmed up. And another thing: I have two Thunderbolts here, one regular and and the other mated to an -hp- E1938 oven, and according to LH the Nortel outperforms them both.

Re: [time-nuts] Connector For Trimble/Nortel GPSTM (NTGS50AA) ?
Hi, I also connected it directly, the weird 110 pin connector probably costs more than I paid for the NTGS50AA. If in the future I want to use any signal present in the connector it can be done using small individual pins. Now the question, has somebody successfully used the internal serial port (the one that goes to CM, the cell tower equipment)? It could be a weird mean of turning the yellow Comm fault led off and the green In service one if conveniently used with a PIC or equivalent microcontroler. According to the available documentation they speak SCPI (the same as used in the GPIB, I think) over an EIA-485 physical layer, but no mention is made of the commands used, the only thing that is clear is that indicates no communications with the CM in the last 60 seconds. Just sending anything that triggers a response could be enough. Regards, Ignacio EB4APL On 03/06/2013 18:42, Bob Camp wrote: Hi That's what I have done.
