4 Network Timeserver with GNSS synchronized
time base
The
LANTIME
(Local Area Network Time Server) 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 ref-
erence. The several LANTIME variants differ from each other by the time reference and output configuration.
A GNSS receiver (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo or BeiDou), a long wave receiver (like DCF77, MSF or WWVB)
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.
The LANTIME system is a set of equipment composed of a internal receiver, a single-board computer and
a power supply, all installed in a metal 19 inch modular chassis and ready to operate. A simplified LINUX
operating system is installed on the single-board computers flash disk. Eight push buttons and a 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 web server enables access to the LANTIME by
using an ordinary web browser.
