Serial Port Option Parameters

The NTD clock contains both an RS232 and RS485 serial port. These ports may be used in

conjunction with supported serial port devices to create a network addressable hardware device

using the NTD clock as an NTP interface.

A Serial devices settings button is included for setting up the RS232 or RS485 serial port

communications. These ports are automatically configured as disabled by default at the factory for

standard operation.

[Note: it is not necessary to enable the serial port interface to utilize the serial port for

configuration purposes. The serial port interface will operate by default for configuration of the

network clock.]

WinDiscovery can be used to detect, address, and configure the supported serial port hardware

device. Enabling the detection of the network addressable device using WinDiscovery requires that

the checkbox Include discovery of attached Masterclock ALD displays of the main WinDiscovery

window be selected .

[Note: Enabling serial port detection of attached devices by selecting the checkbox will disable the

serial port Telnet interface. To re-enable the serial port Telnet the checkbox must be cleared using

WinDiscovery, or the unit must be RESET to factory default.]
