Network Time Server Device

Configuration options status screens and xml output can be reached on the pk70 ntp device by pointing your web browser to the ip address of the device.

Network time server device.

A time server is a server computer that reads the actual time from a reference clock and distributes this information to its clients using a computer network. Whether you connect to a server using the name or the ip address it is a bad practice to hard code a particular server name or address into a device so that these parameters cannot be changed by the end user if that becomes necessary at some future time. Gps ntp servers are computer devices that obtain very accurate time from the gps satellite system in order to precisely synchronize the clocks of computers over a network. The product term network time server generally applies to a rack mounted network appliance rack or tray mount that acquires time from an external source maintains time in its internal local clock and supplies time to a connected network using the network time protocol ntp.

By placing a time server on the local network s ntp time packets are provided without requiring systems to go to the internet to get a stratum 1 time synchronization. If after changing the settings your device still has problems connecting to the ntp server you can reset the windows time service configurations using command prompt. If you are unsure of the local ip address of your netburner ntp server download our ipsetup tool which will scan your local network for netburner devices and display a host of information about the device including the ip address. The timemachines gps ntp network time server is a gps based ntp server device that supplies accurate time for all computers and time keeping devices on your network.

The network time protocol ntp is used to transfer time to servers workstations and network infrastructure such as routers and switches. This is a time client that obtains time information from another source either a hardware device or an ntp server and can return time samples that are useful for synchronizing the local clock. Indeed any hardware that utilizes ntp. Once plugged in and configured all network devices can be set to get their time from the ntp time server.

Timing is synchronized to information received from gps satellites. The time server may be a local network time server or an internet time server. This is a time server that responds to client time requests on the network. The timemachines gps network time server is a simple to use gps based time server that will supply accurate time for all computers and time keeping devices on the network.

By placing a time server on the local network s ntp time packets are provided without requiring systems to go to the internet to get a stratum 1 time synchronization.
