Chapter 1

Basic information and packaging

GTT-030 network time server is the professional network equipment, providing highly-stable time source.

GTT-030 network time server receives GPS satellite signals and extracts the timing information to adjust

the server's local time. It distributes standard time via NTP protocol (Network Time Protocol). Upon the

PC or server which need time synchronization services, a client program will read the NTP protocol,

derive time information, and modify the time of related equipment. The network time server is widely

used in telecommunications, finance, taxation, public security and other special network as well as

common corporate network to unify the network time.

Outline

With the rapid development of modern society, higher demand on the time precision and frequency is

put on the agenda. Nowadays with the development of modern digital communication networks and the

information superhighway construction, the political, cultural, technological and social information

coordination is based on a strict system of time synchronization, especially in the communications,

electricity, financial securities, computer networks, production line operation, administration and national

defense and other fields urgently need the time synchronization equipment.
