The Elproma Network Time Server NTS-x000 (NTS-3000,4000,5000) provides a high precision time directly to TCP/IP networks using:
It synchronizes time of any NTP/SNTP clients running on remote PC’s. It supports majority of current popular operating systems including: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS/X, Linux, Free BSD, HP-UX, IBM AIX, IBM AS/400, SUN Solaris and many other UNIX family systems. It can synchronize simultaneously over 10,000 servers, workstations, routers and other devices supporting NTP or SNTP clients. Server NTS-x000 provides accurate time via 2xLAN (10/100Mbps Ethernet) as well as via various of I/O sync standards including: IRIG-B*, 1PPS*, IBM Sysplex.
The accurate
UTC time is powered by
numerous time sources including: double (A/B) redundant antenna system. Each antenna supports
GPS and/or 2nd extra
time reference from:
DCF77,
or
GLONASS,
SBAS, EGNOS, WAAS, or
even the
GALILEO in a near
future. NTS-x000 can also emulate GPS (NMEA) via RS485 interface. Elproma servers can be equipped with internal oscillator for time backup in case of GPS receiving problems or failure. The DCF77* ref. time code is available for Germany and some Central Europe countries. NTS–x000 distributes UTC reference time to 2 isolated (not routed) sub-networks: LAN1, LAN2. All time and satellite informations can be traced on front panel 2x20 LCD display. More detailed statistic is available by remote NTP software utilities (”ntpq”, ”ntpdc”), setup utility or other software interfaces like: WWW, TELNET, SSH, SNMP. Elproma Time Servers can operate in standard or special NTP authentication mode protected by MD5 algorithms. Unit supports broadcast, manycast, multicast and client/server NTP modes. Special fast sync startup mode of NTP has been implemented to reduce unsynchronized time after powering up products which has no battery powered up RTC clocks.This mode is recommended by CISCO for it's product. The NTS–x000 is ready to work with any SYSLOG or SNMP (MIB2) server. It let friendly warn on any unexpected situation that may happen in your time synchronized network. Server NTS-x000 is designed to operate without ventilators and fans. Metal housing is an important part of NTS–x000 natural cooling system designed in such way that unit can be located in the neighborhood of any device working inside rack19 mount frame. A true novelty is an option to create cascade NTS servers where one can simulate an antenna for the other. Elproma server. This functionality enables time synchronization of secured LANs with official time from NTP servers available publicly on line in Internet.
