NTP100 – Rev 2.2.0 Oct-12

, Inc.

Pre-Installation Checklist

Before installing an NTP100 one should be prepared with the following basic configuration information that the device will

require. It may be necessary to obtain some or all of this information from a network administrator in your organization.

• IP address

• Gateway (router)

• Net mask

• Domain Name Servers

- Or –

• Confirm availability of DHCP/BOOTP server (for dynamic networking configuration)

All Masterclock, Inc. network appliances can be provided with a verbose name. The name is not used for any internal

purpose by the NTP100 and is arbitrary. It may be useful for organizing and managing devices once installed at a facility.

By default, device names are the product name abbreviation followed by the device’s Ethernet address (MAC address).

Customers may wish to designate names relating to their own organizational requirements. It is recommended that a robust

naming scheme be developed before devices are installed to different locations within an organization.

Network Security/Topology Considerations

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

broadcasts on port 6163. Consult your network administrator for additional information.

Personal computer firewall applications, such as ZoneAlarm

, BlackICE

, or the Windows XP firewall may

also prevent WinDiscovery from operating correctly. Configure the firewall to allow bi-direction UDP traffic on

port 6163.
