General Information
The Auto-Sync Time clock is a system with a web interface which provides users an
accurate time stamp. This clock will run on its own using elaborate scheduling time
synchronization with a backup system that can send alerts (SNMP traps & e-mail
notification) plus reports to designated recipients on time sync events for potential
audit.
The Auto-Sync Time Clock utilizes Zero Configuration Networking (Zeroconf), a
set of techniques that will automatically create a usable network IP address without
configuration or special services. This allows users to connect Auto-Sync Time
Clock’s together and expect them to work automatically. Without Zeroconf, a user
must either set up special services, like Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS), or set up each device’s network settings
manually. This may be challenging for non-technical or novice users.
