Introduction
Network Time Display (ND) is a series of versatile, multi-featured Network Time Protocol (NTP)
driven digital clock displays. These devices have a built-in SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol)
client and are designed to display time referenced to either an internal or Internet provided NTP server,
using SNTP. The ND network clocks can be configured to display local time for any time zone
worldwide by enabling time zone offset and automatic DST (Daylight Saving Time) adjustments. This
device allows for maintenance free, reliable, quiet operation.
The ND series II, consists of the following ND-2 and ND-4 (6 digit display) members:
