Front-Panel Display Page 

Descriptions

The following sections provide information about the Model 

5402’s front-panel menu pages. Additional details can be 

found in the Model 5402 Configuration section of this guide. 

Refer to Appendix D for the menu structure diagram.

Row One

There are six display pages associated with the top row 

which we’ll refer to as row one. They relate to the timing 

status of the associated Dante network, the Model 5402’s 

selected internal timing, the status of the GNSS receiver, 

parameters related to the external sync input, and display 

of timing parameters that can be useful for factory trouble-

shooting.

Dante Sync Status Primary PTPv1: 

This menu page will 

display the PTPv1 sync status for the Dante primary inter-

face. It will show Leader, Follower, Link Down, or Error. The 

management webpages should be utilized to observe the 

Model 5402’s complete sync status. Using the Home and 

Main webpages, the status of the Dante primary and Dante 

secondary interfaces, including their support for PTPv1 and 

PTPv2, will be displayed.

Current Clock Source: 

This menu page will display which 

timing source is actively being used by the Model 5402’s 

circuitry. The possibilities are Internal, Internal (Failover 

Active), GNSS, Sync Input, Dante, Dante (Failover Active), 

and ---. Should the text Failover Active be present it will 

alternate on and off as a warning of an abnormal condition. 

This would typically warrant intervention.

GNSS Status:

 This menu page will provide information 

about the Model 5402’s GNSS (satellite) receiver. The pos-

sibilities are Locked, Locking, Unlocked, Antenna Discon-

nected, Antenna Error, Idle, and Error. Locked means that 

the GNSS receiver is actively receiving a timing signal from 

one or more of the possible satellite constellations. Locking 

means that the GNSS receiver is in the process of locking 

(or attempting to lock) to one or more of the possible satel-

lite constellations. Unlocked means that the GNSS is not 

locked to a satellite constellation. Antenna Disconnected 

is self-explanatory. Antenna Error would be displayed if 

an antenna-related error condition was present, such as 

too much DC current being drawn from the antenna input. 

Idle indicates that GNSS was not selected to be the Model 

5402’s timing source and the GNSS receiver is not actively 

locked to a constellation. Error would indicate a problem 

with the Model 5402’s circuitry being able to communicate 

with the GNSS receiver circuitry.

Sync Input Type & Status: 

This display page shows two 

parameters. The top line will show the type of input that 

has been configured for the sync input. The possibilities are 

-Word Clock, Video, and 10 MHz. The bottom line will show 

the status of the external sync input circuitry. The possibili-

ties are Locked, Unlocked, Standby, and Idle.

Sync Input Termination:

 This menu page will display the 

status of a terminating impedance being applied to the sync 

input BNC jack. The two possibilities are Off and On.

Phase Detector Deviation (Factory Use):

 This menu  

page will display two numbers related to how well the Model 

5402’s internal logic circuitry is “locking” to an external tim-

ing reference. (A configuration choice allows this reference 

to be either the GNSS receiver or a signal connected to the
