Set to Default Configuration
In some situations (such as a lost password or removal of confidential information prior to sending the unit in for
maintenance or repair service) it may be necessary to return the NTP100 to its factory default configuration
To set (RESET) the unit to its default factory condition and erase the stored parameters for the NTP100, select option ‘E’.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Selecting this option is equivalent to the process of RESET FACTORY-DEFAULT CONDITION.
This will remove all user input settings and reset/restore the unit to its factory condition which includes the default condition
of using DHCP for addressing. You unit will likely not retain the same IP address . You may have to utilize WinDiscovery
(for all NTP100 models) or the serial port interface (for models NTP100-GPS, NTP100-OSC) to obtain the new IP address
before a Telnet session may be opened with the unit.
Set RTC Backup/Time Dissemination Options
To adjust this configuration, select option ‘F’. Then enter an integer value representing the maximum number of hours the
unit should be allowed to serve ‘valid’ NTP time when ‘free-wheeling’ with the primary reference unavailable.
By default the NTP100-GPS & -TC will allow time dissemination using the internal real-time clock and TCXO for 24 hours.
To always allow time dissemination enter a value of ‘0’ [zero].
Set Time/Date Options
To adjust this configuration, select option ‘F’.
The Set Time/Date menu item lets you manually set the time and date for the NTP100. The function may be most
useful for demonstration, in lab situations, environments where an external signal is not available.
The time for the NTP100 can either be set to the time of the PC or a manual custom time can be entered.
Because of the special considerations for accommodating non-date encoded SMPTE & IRIG-B/B1 time code formats,
the NTP100-TC Set Time/Date Screen or menu will differ from the –GPS and –OSC models.
