Fellow Clock-Tickers,
I've got a pair of Symmetricom TS2100's, both of which have the basic
TTL oscillator module for their reference oscillator. As other owners of
these units are probably aware, the board is also laid out for a couple
of different types of OCXO.
I've got what I believe are the correct OCXO's coming from an Ebay
vendor. They match the source voltage (12VDC), the control voltage
range, and the pinout.
My question is, do I need to make any configuration changes to the
2100's, in terms of jumpers or anything? Or is it literally a case of
swap-and-play?
Thanks much.

Bruce,
Search the TimeNuts archives. There are many posts with details on
installing the OCXO and a few minor required config changes for the
TS-2100. I did this upgrade with a
MTI 240-0530-C a few years ago and both relied on the archives and
added to the group knowledge. I suggest you search TS-2100 OCXO.

They do have 2 additional footprints, but AFAIK, they never
shipped with anything but the MTI 240.

Yes, and yes, in order to properly set the gain, DAC multiplier,
and enable writes to the EEPROM.
There are details in the time-nuts archives, or you can read my
writeup here and ignore the GPS bits:

Good luck!
