When choosing a location for the LF Antenna module, seek the one with the shortest red
bars during the day, and the tallest green bars at night.
Each tick-mark along the bottom of the graph represents an hour, with extended tick marks
for 6 and 24-hour periods.
Each green or red vertical bar represents a 15-minute interval, with four bars per hour. The
most recent data is displayed on the right, and the data moves from right to left.
SYSTEM - General
Use this page to manage:
n The network Hostname for the SyncServer.
n Automatically check for software upgrades.
Hostname: (Default: "SyncServer") The hostname identifies the SyncServer on the network
and is also an important element of NTP autokey authentication. When operating multiple
SyncServers on a network domain, or when using NTP autokey, replace the hostname with
a unique descriptive string composed of alphanumeric characters with no spaces or special
characters. The field has been programmed to reject invalid characters.
Software Update Availability Check:(Default: Enabled) When enabled, the SyncServer checks
a file on the Symmetricom web site for software upgrades shortly after noon, local time,
Monday through Friday, as determined by the Local Time Zone setting on the TIMING - Time
Zone page. If the software Release and Revision on upgradeS300.txt are more recent than
that of the software on the SyncServer, the SyncServer displays a notice on the STATUS -
General page, and generates a System Upgrade Alarm on the ADMIN - Alarms page.
In order for the Software Update Availability Check to function, LAN1 must have:
n Firewall access to the Internet (port 80)
n A valid DNS server
To manually check if an upgrade is available, or if network conditions prevent Software
Update Availability Check from checking automatically, compare http://up-
date.symmetricom.com/upgradeS300.txt with the STATUS - General page.
For example, compare "Version=1.10" and "Last Checkpoint: 1.103" on upgradeS300.txt
with "Release Version1.10 Build 1.103" on the STATUS - General page. Since the values are
the same, no upgrade is available.
Note: The default configuration of the System Upgrade Alarm on the ADMIN - Alarms page is
"Severity = Minor", "Send SNMP trap", "Write to log", and "Send email notification" when
upgrades become available. SNMP and alarm email must be configured correctly to func-
tion.
The user can also contact Microsemi Customer Assistance (on page 5) for information
about upgrades.
