Network Timeserver with GPS synchronized time base
LANTIME (Local Area Network Timeserver) provides a high precision time base
to a TCP/IP network (Stratum-1-Server). The NTP (Network Time Protocol) is used
to synchronize all NTP clients with the reference. The several LANTIME variants
differ from each other by the time reference. A GPS receiver, a DCF77 receiver or an
IRIG time code receiver can be integrated as an internal reference as well as a
combination of these references (hybrid system). External references are also
possible. M300 (equivalent to LANTIME/GPS) is a set of equipment composed of a
satellite controlled clock GPS170, a single-board computer with integrated network
board and a power supply, all installed in a metal 19" modular chassis and ready to
operate. A simplified LINUX operating system is installed on the single-board
computers flash disk. Eight push buttons and a 2 x 40 character LC display can be
used to configure and monitor the time server. After the network connection has been
established the time server can also be configured and monitored remotely from a
workstation via TELNET or FTP. An integrated HTTP server enables access to the
LANTIME by using an ordinary WEB browser.
