NTP Time Server Module (10/100 BaseT)
The NTP Time Server Module provides a proven means of effecting time distribution via Local or Wide Area Networks.
This module, when utilised in an M210 or M211 Timing System which is synchronised to a real time source, provides the functionality of a Stratum 1 Server as described in the NTP specification. Suitable real time sources (e.g. GPS, MSF, DCF77, WWVB) are available for inclusion in Time & Frequency Solutions’ timing system products.
NTP uses sophisticated algorithms for the transfer of time to an accuracy of better than 1 millisecond over a Network. Many implementations of NTP are available covering most commonly used systems and subsystems.
The addition of the 10/100Base-T NTP Time Server Module also provides the capability to remotely configure and manage the Time System by implementing the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
This allows configuration and alarm status monitoring using industry standard network management tools like our NMS. The module provides a non-volatile system log and installed module information for the whole Time System. These can be accessed through SNMP, TELNET or the modules’s user serial port.
The NTP Time Server Module is available as an option on the following products:
• M210 Timing System
• M211 Timing System
