Before Installation - Clock Setup - Network Servers
Time Input – From two In-House NTP Time Servers or from two Master Clocks
• Set the in-house NTP Time Servers or master clocks (capable of providing time data to the IP clocks) with
a static IP address.
• Once the IP addresses of the in-house time sources have been identified, program these two static IP
addresses into the clock’s “1st Server Address” and “2nd Server Address” text boxes in the “Network
Servers” tab of the clock’s built-in web interface.
• Delete all other Server Addresses that came pre-programmed in the clock and make sure to leave only
the two IP addresses of the in-house time sources that you have programmed into the clock.
• Make sure that the option “Rotate Servers” is selected, which commands the clock to rotate between
the two time sources.
• Regardless of what server or master clock you are using as a time source, all IP clocks must still be set
with the UTC/GMT Offset and DST separately, as explained in this manual.
