4.2 ENTERING THE MENU SYSTEM
The menu system may be entered at any time by pressing the <MENU> key. The TYMSERVE
(-GPS, -IRIG) continues to provide the Network Time Server functions while the menu system is
active. This allows the user to look at parameter settings without affecting time server operation.
The -ACTS version, however, stops the NTP server function while in the menu system.
When the <MENU> key is pressed the following main menu is displayed:
<1> NETWORK <2> TIMING <3> FEATURES
<4> INFO <5> SAVE <6> EXIT
To enter a submenu (e.g. NETWORK) press the numeric key shown. The submenus are
described below.
<1> NETWORK
The NETWORK submenu allows you to set the TYMSERVE's Internet address, subnet mask,
default gateway, and the Ethernet frame format. The changes made here will not take effect until
you EXIT the menu system.
<2> TIMING
The TIMING submenu allows you to set the TYMSERVE's timing source, time code format,
current year, timing source's UTC offset/DST, time code generators UTC offset/DST, the
propagation delay compensation (-GPS, -IRIG), and the call reference time/interval (-ACTS).
The changes made here will not take effect until you EXIT the menu system.
<3> FEATURES
The FEATURES submenu allows you to change TYMSERVE features which do not affect the
NTP time server functionality such as, the local time UTC offset, output frequency, the periodic
rate
(-GPS, -IRIG), serial port protocol, and the modem speaker volume, NIST phone number (-
ACTS). The changes made here take effect immediately.
<4> INFO
The INFO submenu allows you to examine information about the TYMSERVE such as the
firmware version, specialized internal timing parameters, and (for the -GPS version only) GPS
packets for position, satellite use, GPS receiver status. Some of the information can be saved in
the EEPROM as described later in this chapter.
