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.

Additional Features and Options

• external NTP timeserver
• free configuration of NTP: thereby MD5 authentication and access control via address and mask restriction
• extended menu guidance for configuration and monitoring via Telnet, SSH or serial terminal interface
• optional up to 3 RJ45/10/100 Mbit Ethernet interfaces
• extended HTTP statistic support with long-term graphic and access statistic to NTP
• alarm messages can be displayed on external large display VP100/20/NET
• USB slot for extended functionality: software update, transfer of secure certificates, log files and configurations, keypad locking

User Interface

• terminal connection via serial interface, status LED
• Web browser interface with graphical statistic of the one-day cycle offsets
• Telnet or Secure Shell Login for password protected operation of the Linux operating system
• FTP access for updating the operating system and downloading log files
• Simple Network Management Protocol for automatically SNMP-Traps in case of alarm
• SYSLOG messages can be passed to different computers
• configurable e-mail notification
• Simulation of a synchronous radio clock in order to operate without antenna

LANTIME is a set of equipment composed of a satellite controlled clock GPS170, a single-board computer SBC GEODE 266 MHz with integrated network card, and a power supply unit, all installed in a metal desktop case and ready to operate. The interfaces provided by LANTIME are accessible via connectors in the rear panel of the case. As well as NTP the Linux system also supports a number of further network protocols: HTTP(S), FTP, SSH and Telnet. Because of this remote configuration or status requests can come from any WEB browser. This access via the network can be deactivated. Changes in the receiver status, errors or other important events are logged either on the local Linux system or on an external SYSLOG-Server. In addition messages can be sent to a data center via SNMP traps or automatically generated e-mails where they can be recorded. Furthermore all alarm messages can be displayed by the large display VP100/20/NET that is accessed via network connection. In order to avoid a service interruption several LANTIME NTP servers can be installed in the same network to obtain redundancy.
