Configuration Methods

Basic operation of the network clock is configured via the WinDiscovery software supplied with the
clock, or via Telnet if the IP address of the clock is known, or via the RS-232 interface. Only one
configuration method should be used at a time.

WinDiscovery

The WinDiscovery (WD) program is a Windows based program supplied with the network clock.
WinDiscovery is currently supported under Windows 2000/XP/2003 Server/Vista operating systems.
To install the WinDiscovery program on your server/workstation/PC, complete the following steps:
1. Insert the software CD that shipped with your network clock.
2. Run the 'setup.exe' application from the CD. [Note, if you have your Windows OS configured
to autorun applications from a CD when installed, this process will be automatic.]
3. By default, the setup utility will suggest installing files to C:\Program
Files\Symmetricom\WinDiscovery. (Another path may be selected if desired.)

Using WinDiscovery

Open the WD program by clicking the shortcut on your desktop (or other fashion dictated by your
installation). Only one user should be using WD at a time, and other methods should not be used to
manage the network clocks while using WD.
Click the Discover button on the lower left of the screen.
All ND clocks accessible on the network will announce their presence. The real-time status bar will
display the count of devices found. When complete, a list of device families and groups will be
displayed in the left pane of the WD window. ND network clocks are digital time display members
of the "Symmetricom, Inc. NTP Clocks" family. Click on the plus [+] sign to the left of any family
or group to open and view device types that were found.
