Introduction
Welcome to the NTS 02-G user manual! This document contains everything you need to know about
the key features, hardware, and installation process of the NTS 02-G.
Product Overview
The NTS 02-G Network Time Server provides a precision time reference for synchronizing Ethernet
networks. The NTS 02-G features multiple independently addressed Ethernet ports, each supporting the
Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Precision Time Protocol (PTP). Each NTS 02-G base unit has a built-in
GNSS synchronized master clock which, in the default operating mode, provides the source reference
time used by all Ethernet ports.
The NTS 02-G product is ideally suited for use in industrial environments and can provide NTP or PTP
server functions to multiple independent Ethernet networks.
All NTS 02-G units feature a front panel display (see Figure 1) giving visual feedback about the time data
being generated on the outputs. LED indicators provide “at a glance” status information.
