NTP/PTP Server Meinberg

Further product information.

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. M600/PTP (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. Optionally a additional network port with hardware timestamping for the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) IEEE1588 will be integrated. A simplified LINUX operating system is installed on the single-board computers flash disk. Eight push buttons and a 4 x 32 character VFD 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.

Meinberg offeres plenty of different models including the following features:

• Synchronization of NTP and SNTP or PTP compatible clients including PTPv2 (for appropriate models)
• Web based status and configuration interface and console based graphical configuration utility
• Supported networking protocols: IPv4, IPv6, HTTPS, HTTP, SSH, TELNET, SCP, SFTP, FTP, SYSLOG, SNMP
• Alert-Notification system of status change by Email, WinMail, SNMP or an external connected display
• Full SNMP v1,v2,v3 support with own SNMP-daemon for status and configuration and SNMP Trap messages
• Configuration through front pannel buttons and remotelly through LAN, USB port for performing updates, lock front panel, and backup/restore configuration and log files.
• External GPS Antenna connected with up to 300m of standard coaxial cable RG58
• Independant RJ-45 ethernet interfaces 10/100 MBit/s used for network synchronisation

Following models are available:

1. M200/GPS is entry level time server to synchronize one LAN network (includes one RJ-45 Network Connection 10/100 MBit/s).
2. M300/GPS is medium level time server to synchronize up to two LAN networks (includes two RJ-45 Network Connection 10/100 MBit/s).
3. M600/GPS is high level time server to synchronize up to four independent LAN networks (includes four RJ-45 Network Connection 10/100 MBit/s).
