Basic Configuration - DHCP and Static IP
NOTE: Firewall Ports 80 (TCP) and 123 (NTP) must be open to use the master clock on a network.
The function of this section is to get a new master clock up and running as quickly as possible. This section
is mandatory for clock systems that will use a Local Area Network as a distribution system, or NTP/SNTP
data as a time source. If your clock system does not require use of your local area network and you do not
wish to use the web interface, you may skip this section and continue with the section labeled
“Manual Controls”.
The master clock is set to DHCP by default.
This setting allows the network to automatically assign
an IP address to the master clock. This IP address may be discovered by performing
step six
below. It is
important to note that this address may change if the network connection is reset.
If you wish to set up the master clock with a crossover cable,
then the following series of steps must
be followed. You should check with your network administrator and confirm that the computer connecting
the master clock has an IP address other than 192.168.0.123, a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and a
gateway address of 192.168.0.1.
1. Power the master clock.
2. On the master clock keypad, press and release button 1 four times.
3. On the master clock keypad, press and release buttons 3 and 6 at the same time.
4. On the master clock LCD screen the message
“SURE ENTER CROSSOVER”
should appear. Press the
YES/ENTER button.
5. Unplug the master clock, wait fifteen seconds, and power the master clock again.
6. Confirm the new master clock IP address by pressing and releasing the 1 and 9 buttons on the master
clock front panel simultaneously. This will cause the IP address to appear on the LCD screen. The LCD
screen will automatically switch back to displaying the time after four seconds have passed.
The master clock Web Interface should now be accessible through the IP address 192.168.0.123.
To configure the Web Interface, continue to the section labeled “Basic Configuration--Web Interface”
