Overall Installation Notes:

Installation of the TimeIPS system normally takes less than an hour. If you have 
multiple locations, a complex network or are not familiar with networking, installation 
may take longer. Our Technical Support department is available to assist if you have 
installation questions.

All TimeIPS servers and clocks should be installed in an indoor location, out of direct 
sunlight, meeting the temperature requirements listed on the back cover of this guide.
