Configuration Methods
Basic operation of the NTP100 is configured via the WinDiscovery software supplied with the unit, or via Telnet (or the
RS-232 interface for the model(s) NTP100-GPS & NTP100-OSC). Only one configuration method should be used at a
time.
WinDiscovery
WinDiscovery (may be abbreviated as WD) is an application designed to run on Windows VISTA , Windows XP, Windows
Server 2003 Server, Windows Server 2000 and Windows 2000 operating systems. The WinDiscovery application is supplied
with the NTP100 device and is used to configure the NTP100 or to review status information. Once configured, the NTP100
does not require WinDiscovery to be running in order to function. To install the WinDiscovery application on your server,
workstation, or PC, complete the following steps:
1. Insert the WinDiscovery CD that shipped with your NTP100 or download the latest version from the support area
of www.masterclock.com
2. If AutoRun is enabled on your PC the Installshield Wizard installation will begin automatically.
Otherwise, browse to the CD root directory and run the ‘setup.exe’ application.
3. Select the installation options by selecting either the standard or custom installation. By default the standard
installation will install all user manuals and application notes along with the WinDiscovery application. The
custom installation will allow the optional installation of the user manuals and application notes.
4. By default, the setup utility will suggest installing files to C:\Program Files\Masterclock\WinDiscovery. (Another
path may be selected if desired.)
Potential Communication Problems
Networks separated by physical routers will often block UDP broadcasts preventing WinDiscovery from locating
devices on a remote network. Under such circumstances, WinDiscovery must be operated from a computer within the
remote network or
routers separating the networks must be configured to pass through (both directions) UDP traffic
(including broadcasts) on port 6163.
Personal computer firewall applications, such as ZoneAlarm©, may also prevent WinDiscovery from operating
correctly. Configure the firewall to allow bi-direction UDP traffic on port 6163 or temporarily disable the firewall
while using the WinDiscovery application.
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 NTP100 while using WD.
Click the Discover button on the lower left of the screen.
