1. Introduction

Network Time Proto ol (NTP) an be used to syn hronize the time on network lients, a ross an IP network, to the

orre t time of an NTP time server. TimeTools NTP Servers provide a stratum 1 NTP Time Server for ensuring the time is

orre t a ross an entire network.

The Network Time Server a quires time from the satellite onstellation and distributes time a ross a network using the

TCP/IP Network Time Proto ol (NTP).

2. Key Features

Model T300: 16- hannel, high sensitivity GPS timing re eiver.

Model T550: 32- hannel, multi- onstellation timing re eiver providing re eption of GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and is

Galileo ready*1.

Timing re eiver syn hronises to less than 15 nanose onds (GPS Lo ked).

Can operate with outdoor, indoor or window lo ated antenna, saving on abling osts.

T550: Integrated high-stability TCXO os illator provides holdover during loss of signal lo k.

NTP a urate to less than 3 mi rose ond (3x10-6 se onds) UTC (GPS Lo ked).

Syn hronize in ex ess of 100,000 lients.

Model T300: Single 10/100 Mbit auto-sensing, auto-MDIX Ethernet ports.

Model T550: Dual 10/100 Mbit auto-sensing, auto-MDIX Ethernet ports.

IPv4 and IPv6 Internet Proto ol.

Integrated universal AC mains input PSU for world-wide operation.

Made in UK.

*1 Hardware ready: a firmware update is required to enable the

Galileo onstellation.
