Masterclock NTDS Series User Manual – v2 – December 2012
Configuration Checklist
Our NTDS clocks get their time signals from the Ethernet.
Therefore, before installing this device, one should be prepared
with the following basic configuration information that the
device will require. It may be necessary to obtain some or all of
this information from a network administrator in your
organization.
STATIC NETWORKING CONFIGURATION
__ IP address and netmask designation for device
__ Primary and secondary DNS (Domain Name Server)
__ Gateway/router
__ Primary and secondary NTP time references
DYNAMIC NETWORKING CONFIGURATION
__ Confirm that a DHCP/BOOTP service is accessible on the local
network
__ Determine if DHCP server will provide NTP server configuration
__ Determine if DHCP server will provide Time Zone configuration
NTP ADDRESSING MODE
__ Determine if this device (client) will query the NTP server
(Unicast mode), listen for NTP broadcast messages (Broadcast
mode), or listen to NTP as part of a Multicast group.
NAMING
All NTP devices can be provided with a verbose name. The name
is arbitrary and may be useful for organizing and managing
devices once installed. By default, device names are the product
name abbreviation followed by the device’s MAC address.
Customers should designate their own custom names relating to
their own organizational requirements, 32 characters max.
INITIAL OPERATION / SERVER ACQUISITION
After receiving power, the NTDS clock will go through an internal
check. Time from the RTC backup will be applied until the NTDS
server signal is acquired.
