Network Time Displays Network Time Displays KEY FEATURES • Digital and Analog Clocks Automatically Synchronize with NTP Network Time Servers Over an Ethernet Network • AC or Power-over-Ethernet configurations • Remote Network Configuration Management • All International Time Zones • Daylight Savings Support • High Quality, Professional Appearance • 2 or 4 Inch Digit Sizes • 12 Inch analog faces with 12 or 24 hour formats • High Visibility with Adjustable Brightness • Multiple Time and Date Formats KEY BENEFITS • Correct Time is maintained via Automatic Synchronization to NTP Servers Over the Network • Easy, Cost Saving Installation Using Existing Ethernet Network and Cabling to Connect to Time Servers Instead of Dedicated Cabling to Transfer Time Signals • Can Use Wireless Ethernet Connections to Eliminate Difficult Cable Connections • DHCP for Automatic Network Configuration Saves Time • Automatic Network Discovery and Remote Management via the Network for Easy and Complete Configuration and Control • Time Zone and Daylight Savings Support Eliminate Manual Time Adjustments • Bright Digits Can Be Seen Near or Far Depending on Brightness Level NTP Referenced Clocks TIMING, TEST & MEASUREMENT Symmetricom’s Network Time Displays are maintenance free clocks that keep accurate time by synchronizing their time – over the network – to a network time server. These clocks use existing Ethernet network infrastructure and the standard network time protocol (NTP) to keep the time correct. Select between analog or digital displays including 12 or 24 hour formats. All international time zones are supported as well as daylight savings time transitions so the clock should never need manual adjustment. Display installation and configuration is an easy, cost effective task made even easier by using existing network wiring instead of requiring dedicated cabling to distribute time signals. All displays are available with either standard AC power and Ethernet connections or a combined Power-over-Ethernet connection (PoE). Time over the network saves both time and money since it is not necessary to pull dedicated cabling (such as coaxial or RS-485) throughout a facility to transfer the time to the displays. Once connected to the network, automatic network address configuration via DHCP coupled with our display discovery and remote management software makes for easy and complete configuration and control of the displays over the network from a single PC. You do not even need to physically see the display to change the settings and verify the correct time and time formats. Display configuration is saved to nonvolatile memory to survive any power fail situation. Each display is configurable to synchronize with a network time server and will accommodate a second time server as an alternate. These time servers need only be accessible over the LAN/WAN and support NTP. The digital displays lend themselves well to network equipment racks, control rooms, manufacturing facilities and large open spaces where the precise and accurate digital time needs to be very visible. The classic analog displays are well suited for formal or smaller spaces such as class rooms and meeting rooms. Multiple displays also work well as time zone clocks in control rooms.
