Page 5: Introduction
TCP/IP networks. NTP itself is transported with the UDP/IP (User Datagram Protocol), and is usually served on port 123. NTP time/date is UTC-referenced, as the protocol has no provisions for representing time zones or daylight savings (summer) time. ® NTP100 – Rev 1.0.1 Dec-04 © Masterclock , Inc. -
Page 6: Gps Satellites (Model Ntp100-Gps Only)
If a longer cable is required, cables of various lengths (up to 500 feet) with pre-amplified antennas are available from Masterclock, Inc. [Note: bringing the NTP100-GPS up for the first time with an indoor antenna may prevent or significantly increase the time to first fix.]... -
