1 Introduction The Time Machines GPS Network Time Server is a simple to use GPS based time server that will supply accurate time for all computers and time keeping devices on the network. By placing a time server on the local network, (S)NTP time packets are provided without requiring systems to go to the Internet to get a Stratum 1 time synchronization.
2 Installation 2.1 Location To receive GPS signals the Time Server's antenna must be located in a location where it can “see” the sky. The GPS module itself is highly sensitive and able to “see” the GPS satellite signals from within many structures.
3 Configuration 3.1 Web Page – Default password is “tmachine” 3.2 Default IP address is 192.168.1.15 All Time Server parameters are accessed on the configuration web page. The page can be accessed by pointing any web browser at the IP address of the Time Server. The initial IP address is 192.168.1.15 from the factory.
Time Server and from the GPS module in the Time Server. The Firmware Version is displayed and should be known before calling Time Machines for support. The “GPS:” lable will state whether the GPS is locked to satellite signals or not. A “LOCKED” status in green letters is required for operation.
3.2.9 Echo GPS Strings Checkbox Checking this option will tell the unit to copy all received data from the GPS module's serial port to the serial port on the back of the Time Server. The copied strings are the standard NMEA GPS data strings.
A: Reset to Factory B: Normal Operation Jumper J8 on the inside of the TM1000A is used to reset the units software settings to factory original. This is useful when a password is forgotten or the IP address cannot be determined. To do this, remove the 4 screws from one of the end panels.
