Configuration of the IS-SPX-1000 acting as master:
Identify the “master” IS-SPX-1000 that will serve as the NTP server, and configure it as follows through the
Browser-Based Configuration Pages:
1. In the Date/Time page, choose NTP Server and write the IP address of as many slave IS-SPX-1000s with
static IP addresses as possible in the server textboxes (Server 1, Server 2, etc.) (FIG. 60).
2. Check the corresponding box(es) in the right column, under the title “Monitor only”. The check box must
be checked: if it is not, you will create a reference loop, and your system will not work correctly.
3. Select “0 s” in the menu list corresponding to the option Pause device at startup to wait for NTP servers
by.
4. Click the Apply button.
With such a configuration, you will be able to switch on all your IS-SPX-1000s at the same time and have
them automatically synchronized between themselves.
Master/server architecture examples
As the number of IS-SPX-1000s in your network grows up, several master/slave configurations become
possible (FIG. 62). The red arrows indicate the server address(es) entered in the master IS-SPX-1000
configuration (Monitor only). The black arrows refer to the values entered for the slave IS-SPX-1000(s).
