Configuration Checklist

The CLDNTD12 digital-analog clocks get their time signals from the Ethernet. Therefore, before
installing this device, one should be prepared with the following basic configuration information
that the device will require. It may be necessary to obtain some or all of this information from a
network administrator in your organization.
STATIC NETWORKING CONFIGURATION
__ IP address and netmask designation for device
__ Primary and secondary DNS (Domain Name Server)
__ Gateway/router
__ Primary and secondary NTP time references
DYNAMIC NETWORKING CONFIGURATION
__ Confirm that a DHCP/BOOTP service is accessible on the local network
__ Determine if DHCP server will provide NTP server configuration
__ Determine if DHCP server will provide Time Zone configuration
NTP ADDRESSING MODE
__ Determine if this device (client) will query the NTP server (Unicast mode), listen for
NTP broadcast messages (Broadcast mode), or listen to NTP as part of a Multicast group.
NAMING
All NTP devices can be provided with a verbose name. The name is arbitrary and may be useful for
organizing and managing devices once installed. By default, device names are the product name
abbreviation followed by the device's MAC address. Customers should designate their own
custom names relating to their own organizational requirements, 32 characters max.
INITIAL OPERATION / SERVER ACQUISITION
After receiving power, the CLDNTD12 digital-analog clock will go through an internal check. Time
from the RTC backup will be applied until the CLDNTD12 server signal is acquired.
