5. DRS5000 TimeSync
The DRS5000 server connects to the school’s Network Time Server and as a result keeps very accurate time, staying in sync with
the school’s clocks. The DRS5000 can also update other FrontRow devices across the network so that they have accurate
time. This version of the DRS5000 is configured to allow time updates to the CB5000, CB6000, and CB2000 (although no time
is displayed on the CB2000, it does have an internal clock to allow for timed actions). The CB5000 and CB6000 can show the
current time on the LCD panel display, and many schools choose to use this as their classroom clock.
By default, TimeSync is automatically configured to send the current time to all applicable FrontRow devices on the same
subnet. For district-wide Maestro installations there may be more than one subnet required. In this case each device will
need to be added individually.
To add devices outside the default subnet, select Target Devices from the DRS TimeSync module.
1. Check the box for the current host list (ALL).
You can then Add a device before or after (click Add Before or Add After buttons) the current devices in the list
(this sets the order of time sync, a sequential process).
NOTE: It is recommended that additional devices be added AFTER the ALL row. ALL represents all devices on the
current default subnet (the same subnet as the server IP address). See Help for additional explanation.
2. Enter the IP address of the target device (i.e. the CB6000). If Security is enabled on the device (Security Level set to
Admin instead of None), enter admin for the Username field and the password in the Password field. Note that if
the password is left at the default (calypso), TimeSync will automatically try this password. Click Save when done.
