Setup Guide:

 

 

1. Configure Clock

 

Setup the clock for GPS reception at 9,600 bps. Don't forget to set your 

local offset from GMT (UTC). 
 

2. Connect  

Always connect and disconnect whilst the clock is powered off.  

Insert the cable into the back of the clock, and the other end of the cable 
into the NTP Sync Device. Then power up the clock again.

Configure Device

Upon initial power up, the 3 LEDs light briefly and then the blue DATA 
LED on the ESP Module will light constantly. This indicates the device is 

in Access point mode, which is where you can connect to it as if it were a 
Wireless Hotspot.
