Hello, I bought the unit in the subject from a bankrupt company and I want to share some things about this one and ask for some help if anyone has access to ADVA/Oscilloquartz Support page. This unit is a compact 1U rack mountable type and it is completely silent, I didn't hear any fan noise. On the back it has some radiator which is barely warm. First issue I had was the RS232 serial port (RJ45) which was not using the "standard" pinout I was used to so I had to build my own cable. I attached the pinout to this email in case someone needs it. I went through the initial configuration and everything seems OK. In terms of hardware it has the following: - CPU Freescale LayerScape LS1020E ARMV7 at 1000 MHz - RAM 512 MB DDR3 - Flash 4 MB - NAND 1024 MB It is running some embedded Linux and my software version is 10.5.2 Issues that I found with Oscilloquartz are the following: - they only provide a datasheet - NO manuals - NO software/firmware - NO possibility to create a support account and request manuals and software. (Only the Sales person can create one for you) I found one seller on eBay that sold 29 pieces of the same model and he said in the ad he has the following manuals and software but I cannot contact him since the auction ended and I am not sure if he is willing to help since I didn't buy this unit from him. If anyone on the list bought this unit from him and ot the manuals and firmware I would like also to have them please. https://www.ebay.com/itm/186154228890 Manuals: OSA 542x 10.5.1 Provisioning and Operations.PDF OSA 5405 SyncReach User Manual 10.1.1.PDF OSA 542x R10.2.1 System Description.PDF OSA 542x R10.5.1 System Description.PDF OSA 542x 10.5.1 Installation and Commissioning Manual.PDF OSA542x10.5.1CLIReferenceGuide.PDF OSA542x10.5.1SNMPUserGuide.PDF Firmware: OSA-542x.11.1.2-072.img Does anyone have any manuals and firmware for this unit? Thanks! Razvan

Hi Razvan, I have the OSA 5530 that is very similar. I have found the documents for that unit and I don’t think the software is very different. I put it on a file sharing system tonight.

Hello Herman, Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. About your unit, you mean OSA 5430? I cannot find any Oscilloquartz OSA 5530 except for an OSA 5530B which is a totally different device.

Yes it is a OSA 5430 Razvan, I have sent you a dropbox link. They have 3 10 MHz Oscillators versions HQ + = OCXO the HQ ++ Double oven OCXO and the Rubidium version. I have the HQ ++. Wordt of warning, never update the firmware if you get it somewhere. If there are parameters in the firmware suboptimal for your unit you get serious frequency errors.

Hello Herman, I got the files, thanks a lot! The 5420 comes with the HQ+ oscillator. The commands are matching from what I see. I will start studying them. Regarding the firmware, I usually check the release notes to see what bug fixes are inside or new features. If noting fancy inside the release notes I usually keep the older working firmware. In case I have more than one unit I usually sacrifice one to test new firmware. In this case I only have one piece but I saw you can revert between the new and older firmware. Looks like they partitioned the NAND flash in 2 zones. I found no option to save the old/actual firmware as a backup. Do you know if there is any possibility to backup the NAND flash?
