Option 34: NTP/PTP Server
C.22.1
General Description
This option provides Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
servers
in the Arbiter Model 1088A/B series GPS clocks. These instructions will assist you in the setup
and operation of the Option 34. Configure this option using the Web Interface or the SSH Console.
Standard configuration includes two copper Ethernet ports. Optionally, order fiber optic con-
nectors.
Standard fiber connector is type LC, 62.5/125 m 50/125 m multimode fiber.
Other
configurations include two fiber ports, or one copper and one fiber port. Contact the factory for
other connector types.
The Option 34 has two independent server ports that can access either the NTP servers (versions
1, 2, 3 or 4 frames) or the PTP server. This option has been designed in accordance with the latest
NTP and PTP standards and may be updated whenever new firmware is available.
PTP with hardware assist offers much better accuracy than with NTP, however to achieve
these accuracies requires PTP-enabled network components that provide for latency and jitter to
be determined between the clock and each component. When designing for the ultimate in PTP
accuracy, evaluate every component in the complete network.
Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server
The Option 34 allows the clock to act as network (NTP) time server over an Ethernet network and
understands NTP version 1 – 4 frames, while optionally supporting authentication via DES and
MD5 cryptographic checksums as defined in RFC 5905
. The Option 34 supports symmetric key
authentication. Time is distributed over the network interface to computers, controllers and other
equipment with accurate time. The Option 34 allows a secure connection to configure, using either
the preferred HTTPS Web Interface, or using the SSH Console.
Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Server
The Option 34 allows the clock to act as a Precision Time Server (PTP) according to Standard
IEEE 1588 2008. However for highest accuracy, the entire network where PTP is required must
have PTP-enabled network components. Without hardware assist through the physical interface,
PTP will provide time with the same accuracy as with NTP. Accuracy with hardware assist using
PTP should be better than 1 microsecond. Accuracy without hardware assist should be better
than 100 microseconds.
Configuration Protocols
Three types of configuration protocols are allowed on the Option 34: HTTP, HTTPS and Secure
Shell (SSH). Of the three, HTTPS and SSH permit secure channels on the network between the user
and the Option 34. If a secure channel is required, choose either HTTPS using the Web Interface,
or SSH using the Console. HTTPS requires that a valid signed certificate (PEM file) be uploaded
into the Option 34. Use of Console does not require a signed certificate. Both of these methods are
discussed in the following pages, and both require a username and password to open a connection.
To access the option configuration use the Web Interface you will need Web browser. To access the
