NTS-6001
The NTS-6001 is a rack-mount time server designed for medium to large companies, operating on an embedded Linux system. It ensures stable and reliable network time synchronization by peering with multiple time servers.
The NTS-6001 offers easy installation and configuration via a web browser, enhanced security with HTTPS and SSL, and supports GPS and radio-based synchronization. It can handle over 10,000 NTP requests per minute and features dual Ethernet interfaces for network separation. Additional features include MD5 authentication, peering support, upgradable flash memory, and a front panel display for system information.
Standard Parts: The package includes the NTS-6001 unit, power cable, GPS/MSF/DCF/WWVB antenna, junction box, mounting bracket, and a CD with the manual. Optional Parts: Light arrestors, antenna extension cables, support packages, digital wall clock, secondary time source, and additional power supply are available.
The NTS-6001 supports NTP & SNTP protocols, features dual RJ-45 network interfaces (10/1000 Base-T), and operates on a Linux-based system. It functions within a temperature range of 0-50°C and requires a universal power supply of 85-260V. The packed dimensions are 160mm (H) x 620mm (W) x 630mm (D).
The server synchronizes network time with a stratum 1 response, supporting up to 282,000 time requests per minute. It features plug-and-play installation and dual Ethernet ports for enhanced connectivity.
The GPS antenna tracks up to 12 satellites for accurate global time synchronization. It is functional up to 1000m from the server, with an additional power supply recommended beyond 550m. The antenna is weatherproof and should be mounted with a clear sky view.
These antennas provide regional time synchronization signals. Each is functional up to 1000m from the server, with additional power supply recommended beyond 550m. Users should avoid interference from electrical equipment.
Detailed wiring instructions are provided for extending the antenna using Cat5e/Cat6 and eight-core cables, including specific pin and cable color configurations for GPS and Radio setups.
Instructions include selecting a suitable server location, connecting to the network, and installing the antenna. Configuration steps involve powering up the unit, checking for serial data, and synchronizing with GPS or Radio signals, while avoiding interference from electrical devices.
This section addresses common issues such as LED indicators, incorrect time display, login procedures, and peering multiple units. Solutions for resetting passwords and setting the IP address manually are provided.
Advanced users are guided on debugging GPS and Radio functionalities using SSH access. Commands for stopping and restarting services are provided, along with instructions for checking synchronization status.
Steps for resetting the BIOS include accessing the BIOS menu, loading failsafe defaults, and adjusting serial port IRQ settings.
Users are directed to the support website for further assistance, where they can access a knowledge base and submit support tickets. Detailed instructions for obtaining technical support, repair, and returns are provided, including warranty information and RMA procedures.
The document outlines a six-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, with conditions and limitations specified. It also details the process for obtaining repairs and the responsibilities of the customer and Galleon Systems.

NTS-6001 GPS ANTENNA Tracking up to 12 satellites at the same time, GPS offers an accurate signal capable of a reliable and consistent reading anywhere in the world. Used extensively for synchronising time from one location to another, GPS signals are received globally and maintain a high level of accuracy. Functional up to 1000m (3,000 ft.) away from the time server, additional cable length can be added to the supplied 10m to increase cable size to desired length. An extra power supply is recommended past the length of 550m to ensure the unit is running at optimum efficiency. The GPS antenna...

NTS-6001 MSF ANTENNA The MSF signal is broadcast from Anthorn in Cumbria and is maintained at a reliable frequency of 60 kHz, delivering a steady signal undisrupted by changing weather conditions and operational 24 hours a day. The radio signal is designed to cover the whole of the United Kingdom. Functional up to 1000m (3,000 ft.) away from the time server, additional cable length can be added to the supplied 10m, to increase cable size to the desired length. An extra power supply is recommended past the length of 550m to ensure the unit is running at optimum efficiency. One thing to bear in...

NTS-6001 DCF ANTENNA The DCF antenna receives a radio signal broadcast at 77.5 kHz from Frankfurt (Main). The signal covers the whole of Germany and impressively most of Europe too. Functional up to 1000m (3,000 ft.) away from the time server, additional cable length can be added to the supplied 10m to increase cable size to the desired length. An extra power supply is recommended past the length of 550m to ensure the unit is running at optimum efficiency. One thing to bear in mind with a radio-based antenna is that certain electrical equipment generates noise on the same frequency as the radio...

NTS-6001 WWVB ANTENNA The WWVB antenna receives a radio signal broadcast at 60 kHz from two transmitters near Fort Collins in Colorado. One benefit of using the WWVB signal is that as they have two transmitters that have different scheduled down times, the WWVB signal is not affected by maintenance. Functional up to 1000m (3,000 ft.) away from the time server, additional cable length can be added to the supplied 10m, to increase cable size to the desired length. An extra power supply is recommended past the length of 550m to ensure the unit is running at optimum efficiency. One thing to bear...
