Linux Time Server

TimeTools SR series Linux Time Server systems utilise a compact-flash based reduced Linux kernel running the latest version of the NTP protocol. When combined with the integral high-sensitivity GPS or LF radio receiver, it provides a highly accurate source of time for computers and computer network infrastructure. Precise timing information is received from GPS or radio time sources to synchronise an internal real-time clock. Once synchronised, the device can be used to provide accurate time to a range of computers and network devices, such as routers, hubs and switches.

The SR series is housed in an all-aluminium 1U high 19 inch rack-mountable enclosure. At 5W, the device has a very low power consumption, aiding reliability and longevity as well as the environment. It is convection cooled, runs at a low temperature and requires no internal fans, or other moving parts. In the front-panel is a highly visible 40 character by 2 line backlit LCD display, which provides status information such as current time and date, timing offset from UTC, synchronisation status and LF and GPS signal lock information.

TimeTools has a comprehensive range of computer and network time synchronisation solutions utilising GPS and radio technologies. Solutions range from RS232 serial and USB devices that synchronise time on a single PC to dedicated network time servers that can provide accurate time to thousands of network time clients. We also provide a comprehensive range of ethernet network, NTP synchronised, digital and analog wall clocks that continuously display accurate synchronised time.

• High Precision GPS and LF radio (MSF and DCF-77) time references.
