LANTIME NTP Time Server

Meinberg LANTIME devices are stratum-1 standalone time servers which provide a high-accuracy refe-
rence time to IP networks via the Network Time Protocol (NTP). The main difference between the LANTIME
models is the primary time source from which a device derives its reference time. Primary time source
options include external radio clocks, built-in DCF77, GPS, or IRIG receivers, a hybrid combination of a
DCF77 and a GPS receiver or a free running clock module.

The radio clock modules are assembled in a modular case which also includes a single board computer,
and a power supply unit. Configurable settings can be modified via menus on the 2 row x 40-character LC
display with background illumination and the four buttons in the front panel. A failure output can be used to
generate an alarm signal if a malfunction is detected.

The single board computer runs a Linux system which is loaded from flash disk into RAM at power-up.
Aside from NTP, the Linux operating system supports additional network services like SSH, HTTP(S),
SNMP, all supported IPv4 and IPv6 which allows remote configuration or monitoring across the network,
e.g. using a common web browser. Remote access from the network can also be disabled for security
reasons.

Changes in the radio clocks’ receiver status, errors conditions, and other events generate error messages
which can be logged on either the local Linux system, or on another syslog server in the network.
Additionally, those messages can be sent to a management console by SNMP traps, automatic emails, by
Windows Popup-Messages or on the big display VP100/NET. If it is necessary to provide redundancy
against hardware failure then it’s also possible to install several LANTIME NTP servers in the same
network.

Supported Network Protocols (via RJ45 autosensing 10/100Base-T Ethernet):


- NTP v2, v3, v4 - NFS
- NTP broadcast mode - DHCP client
- NTP multicast - FTP
- NTP symmetric keys - TELNET
- NTP Autokey full crypto support - NETBIOS

LANTIME/SHS NTP Time Server

- High Security by simultaneous


reception and comparison of
two different independent
Time Sources
- 1U Slimline Housing

The LANTIME/SHS (Secure Hybrid System) has a built-in hybrid radio clock which derives its primary
reference time from the satellite based Global Positioning System (GPS) as well as from the german long
wave transmitter DCF77. During normal operation the hybrid receiver passes the highly accurate reference
time to the NTP time server which makes the reference time available to the network. If either the difference
between the time information of both systems or the difference between the PPS signals exceeds a
configurable limit of some milliseconds, or if one of the both systems stops generating a time telegram,
then the hybrid radio clock stops generating any output signals, preventing the NTP time server from
spreading bogus time information on the network. If the time difference is within the limit again, the user
has to confirm the error before the Lantime restarts normal operation. Both the primary and the secondary
clock include their own high quality chrystal oscillators which let the clocks provide accurate time even if
they are running free for a few days. The hybrid receiver module is assembled in a 19" modular case (1U)
which also includes a single board computer and a power supply unit. Configurable settings can be
modified via menus on the LC display and five buttons in the front panel. The external GPS antenna/
converter unit is connected to the system with up to 250 m of Standard Coaxial Cable RG58. The external
DCF77 antenna is mounted in a weather resistant plastic housing, suited to be installed outdoor or inside
the building. An additional overvoltage protector is available.

Driver Software

Driver Software for:


- DOS / Win 3.x / Win 9x
- Windows NT / Win 2000
- OS/2
- Novell NetWare
- UNIX
- all Drivers downloadable at:
http://www.meinberg.de

DOS / Win 3.x / Win 9x: The device driver disk is shipped with all PC plug-in radio clocks. The disk includes a
resident driver (TSR), a monitoring program and some utilities. The resident driver reads
the time from the radio clock in periodic intervals and adjusts the computer's system
time. When the computer operates in text mode the current radio time can be displayed
in a box at the corner of the screen. The monitoring program shows the clock's and the
TSR's status information and lets the user check the signal and second marks received
from DCF77.

Win NT / Win 2000: The driver disk for Windows NT (version 3.51 or greater) can be ordered optionally. The
software supports all Meinberg plug-in radio clocks for PCs and all radio clocks which
send out the Meinberg standard time string via serial RS-232 interface. A Windows NT
service is installed to keep system time synchronized with the radio time. A monitoring
utility is used to install and configure the time service. When the service is operating, the
monitoring utility can be used to check the clock's status and the status of the time
service. If a plug-in radio clock is used, the signal and second marks received from
DCF77 can be monitored.

OS/2: The driver disk for OS/2 can be ordered optionally. The package includes a device driver
and a monitoring utility running under the Presentation Manager. The monitoring utility
shows the radio clock's status and the signal and second marks received from DCF77

Novell NetWare: The driver disk for NetWare 3.11 or greater can be ordered optionally. The software
supports all Meinberg plug-in radio clocks for PCs and all radio clocks which send out
the Meinberg standard time string via serial RS-232 interface. A time server NLM (NetWa-
re Loadable Module) is loaded on a file server with a radio clock built in or connected to
a serial port. The time server software keeps the file server time synchronized with the
radio time and makes the radio time available on the network. File servers without radio
clock can be synchronized across the network using a time client NLM which requests
the radio time from a time server. A resident driver for DOS/Windows can be installed on
workstations to keep workstation time synchronized to the radio clock.

UNIX: For most UNIX platforms, a public domain software called NTP (Network Time Protocol)
provides time synchronization functions for single computers and across the network.
The package is shipped as source code and must be compiled on the target platform.
During installation, Meinberg radio clocks can be configured as reference clocks. Instal-
lation and configuration instructions are shipped together with the driver disk. The
package can also be downloaded from the Internet (http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp).

Antenna/Converter/Diplexer GPS Accessory

- Antenna/Converter Unit
- Preformed Cable
- Holder for Wall Mounting
- Clamps for Pole Mounting
- Ambient Temperature:
-40°C ... +65°C

- Antenna Diplexer GPSAV4

GPS Antenna
Function: The GPS antenna includes the functional units planar antenna and post-connected
converter. This one translates the high-frequency phase-modulated spread spectrum
signal of the GPS system to a lower intermediate frequency. This way the connection with
the GPS clock can be made with a customary in trade coaxial cable (e.g. RG58) with up to
250 meters of length, without requiering an additional amplifier.
The satellites of the GPS system can only be received if there is no obstacle in the line-of-
sight from the antenna to the satellites. So the antenna/converter unit must be installed in
a location from which as much as possible of the sky is visible. Like the antenna/
converter unit itself, a plastic tube and holders and clamps for wall or pole mounting are
included in the scope of supply of any Meinberg GPS clock, to make this mounting
possible.

GPSAV4
Function: The GPSAV4 distributes the signal of a Meinberg GPS antenna/converter unit to up to four
Meinberg GPS receivers. The integrated amplifier avoids distribution dissipations. The
GPS receiver connected to the output no.1 is used to supply power to the GPSAV4, so this
output has to be connected steadily while the others can keep unconnected.
The diplexer is installed in a plastic case with five type-N female connectors for input and
outputs.

Cable: Scope of supply includes 5m of RG174 coaxial cable with SMB or BNC connector for
indoor mounting.
Optionally the cable is available in all lenghts and with the required connectors.

Installation: In case of stationary installation it is advisable to position the antenna in an optimal


way. The case should be aligned at a right angle to the direction of the transmitter
(Frankfurt). In normal applications it should be mounted with distance to solid steel
and to TVs or computer monitors. When mounting the antenna near to metal the
received signal may be deaden (attenuation), but the field-distortion causes an easier
alignment of the antenna because of the "nearly-360°-character". In this case a
function test is necessary.

Ambient Temperature: -25°C ... +65°C
