Meinberg LANTIME M2000S – The new Synchronization System for your Application

Key Features:

• Six free configurable IO slots with low space requirement. These slots can be used, for example, for 24 outputs (PPS, 10 MHz ...).
• Synchronization of NTP and SNTP compatible clients
• Web-based status and configuration interface
• Arbitrary combinations of modules
• IEEE 1588 PTP Grandmaster / Slave (optional)
• E1 / T1 Input / Output Options
• Up to 24 additional LAN ports
• Up to 6 PTP (IEEE 1588-2008) modules
• Three available slots for AC/DC or DC power supplies
• Optional redundant power supply and receiver configuration (e.g. GPS / GLONASS combination).
• Also available with DHQ oscillators
• Hot Plug capability
• LANTIME time server is available with a variety of additional output options: IRIG Time Code, frequency synthesizer and programmable pulse outputs illustrate some of the many expansion options for your NTP server

The possibility to add input and output modules as well as specialized communication cards for NTP and PTP/IEEE1588 network synchronization (including Synchronous Ethernet support) and remote management ensures that a LANTIME M2000S will fulfill all your synchronization requirements and the scalability and flexibility of the IMS platform concept enables it to cope with the changing demands of your critical applications.

All modules support hot plugging, allowing to replace faulty modules or add new capabilities to the system with zero downtime for unaffected modules and functions.

Includes: High-End NTP Network Time Server for your Network
With up to 25,000 NTP requests per second (depening on the installed CPU module), the system is able to provide time for hundreds and thousands of NTP clients. The LANTIME management CPU module supports the following protocols: NTP / SNTP (v2, v3, v4), PRP (IEC 62439-3), HTTP (S), SSH, Telnet, SNMP (v1, v2, v3), FTP, SFTP, DHCP/DHCPv6. For each system, up to 99 logical network interfaces are available (99 IPv4 and 99 IPv6 addresses, each logical interface can be assigned to one VLAN ID). Enterprise-grade features such as IPv6/Dual Stack support, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support, LACP/high availability bonding as well as DSCP and IEEE802.1p QoS/CoS traffic prioritization ensure that this product can be installed and operated in almost every critical environment: a financial data center; an electrical substation; an NGN telecommunication network; a digital broadcasting infrastructure ; air traffic control systems and many many other environments.

Scalable Synchronization Solution
All modules are hot-pluggable and can be configured via a central web interface or a CLI. An almost endless number of combinations of input and output modules handles almost any synchronization task and allows the system to fit into many different roles. The field-upgradeable and therefore highly scalable and flexible IMS concept will grow with your demands. New technologies can be easily integrated into your existing devices as soon as a corresponding module is available, supporting a new connector, signal type or protocol. This protects your investments as it removes the requirement to replace existing devices or add complete new systems when your sync requirements change.

Flexible Synchronization References

• IMS-MRI:Standard reference input cards supporting a number of different input signals like 1PPS, 10 MHz, IRIG DCLS, IRIG AM
• IMS-ESI: Extended reference inputs for synchronization sources like E1/T1 framed and unframed signals
• IMS-VSI: Video Synchronization Input Card - Black Burst, LTC (Linear Time Code) and Word Clock Input.

Both of these slot types (MRI / ESI) can alternatively accept I/O cards and therefore can be used to add output modules or network interfaces, resulting in a maximum of six output modules per chassis in combination with the remaining two I/O slots.

Due to the hot-plug capabilities of the IMS platform it is possible to add additional modules or replace modules with zero downtime and no negative impact on the system and its modules.

Power supply failures and a large number of additional synchronization related alarms can be communicated using several different protocols, for example mail/SMTP messages, SNMP traps, SYSLOG messages, or alarm relay cards.
