When a suitable number of satellites are available and the server
is receiving a valid time signal, the “Active” LED on the server will
flash once per second. During the initial installation, it can take
from 10 – 15 minutes to establish a “positional fix” which is then
stored in memory. Subsequent power up sequences will be
“warm starts” and should only require about a minute or so before
the server is operational.
The timeserver decodes GPS time once per second. If the
satellites are blocked, the server will continue to operate for a few
minutes until the signal is restored. In the event of a continuous
signal failure, the server will not respond to a client request.
Connecting to
the Timeserver
Before you can communicate with the Timeserver, you must know
its IP address. By default, your Timeserver is pre-configured with an
IP address of 192.168.0.128 and will respond to a telnet session on
default port 23.
To connect to the Timeserver, you have two options;
1.
Connect to the device to a network that is already
compatible. i.e. IP addresses in the range 192.168.0.xxx
2.
Manually configure a PC to a compatible IP address (e.g.
192.168.0.50) and connect directly to the device using a
network cable.
Suggested methods of establishing a telnet connection to your
Krontek GPS SNTP Timeserver include using PuTTY or establishing a
telnet session from the command line. For help on how to
establish a telnet session, please refer to the Telnet Guide on the
Krontek website.
IMPORTANT: When you are finished with your connection, ensure
that you close the session by returning to the main menu and
selecting option 99 to close the connection. Failure to do so may
inhibit your ability to telnet in the future as only one session can
operate at a time.
