This information must be followed! Intended Use The DTS 4128.timeserver is a time server for the use in network environments. It can be synchronized from NTP and be used as NTP server. In addition, it can read the time from DCF or GPS (e.g. from GNSS 4500).
Technical Data See Appendix F Technical data. Introduction The DTS 4128.timeserver is a NTP Time Server for use in network environments. It can be synchronized by DCF or GPS (e.g. from GNSS4500) and act as a NTP server in a network.
DTS 4128.timeserver 117973 Device descriptions: The front plate always has DTS 4128.timeserver printed on it. The precise description is made on the identification plate on the back. DTS distributed time system The DTS (Distributed Time System) is a system developed by Moser-Baer AG to connect decentralized master clocks, slave clock lines and time servers.
MOBA-NMS is a software used for central management and inquiry of state and alarm information. It supports DTS devices as well as all MOBATime analog and digital network clocks and can handle a network with more than 1000 devices. This software provides extensive functions for the configuration, installation, back-up / recovery etc.
3.6.2 Device management All MOBATime network devices are displayed in the so-called device view. Here, the devices can be grouped according to user-defined criteria. For this, the individual devices can simply be moved to the according groups and sorted using drag and drop. There is no limit to the number of groups and sub-groups.

The Time Zone Table is usually updated as needed. The current table is available for download under the following address: www.mobatime.com Customer Area Customer Support Support Resources Time Zone Table. In case your device is equipped with a newer version than shown in this manual, the current time zone settings should be checked.
Needed information to Device type, part number, production number contact your and serial number: MOBATIME service Details are given on the adhesive type label. The following files must be provided for the analysis: All files (in .zip folders, separate for each device) from the directories /var/log/ and /etc/ and the file: /ram/trim.log.
