The purpose of this section is to get a new master clock up and running using the manual controls on
the front of the master clock. If you would prefer to program the master clock through the convenience
of the web interface, go to the section labeled “Basic Configuration--Web Interface” for an alternate
programming method. This section continues from “Basic Configuration--DHCP and Static IP.” Please
complete that section first before proceeding with the items below.
This master clock should be set to receive accurate time through an NTP server as a standard feature, or
from a GPS receiver as an optional feature. The master clock can also act as a stand-alone master clock,
meaning that it will not receive accurate time and update its time data on a regular basis. Although
we
always recommend that the Master Clock receive time data from an accurate time source
, if
there is a need for the master clock to act as a standalone device, the Master Clock’s internal real-time
clock can be set manually.
