TC89/TC90 Time Code In
(ESE) TC89 or TC90 time code can be fed to the 6200 in order to drive the real-time clock and Event Manager. The format
and presence is automatically detected. Simply connect the output of your TC89 or TC90 master clock into the 6200’s TC89/
TC90 TIME CODE IN port. Refer to the help content within the 6200 Designer application for more information on the Event
Manager.
NOTE: When a valid TC89 or TC90 source is connected to the 6200, a “Tc” character will appear in the upper right side of the
“In LVL” and “Out LVL” menus accessed by pressing the HOME button once then turning the ADJUST knob clockwise once
(for “In LVL”) or twice (for “Out LVL”).

TIME/UDP (Time Protocol)
The 6200 implements the Time Protocol (RFC-868) via UDP. This is not to be confused with the “Network Time Protocol”
(RFC-1305), also called “NTP”. In order to synchronize the 6200, you will need to connect the 6200 to a network using the
Ethernet port and correctly enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address. See the Ethernet Connection section
for more details. You will also need the IP address of a server that supports the Time Protocol via UDP and the ability to
connect to it via UDP port 37 over the internet or to a local server providing the Time Protocol service. This may have to be
allowed through a firewall when using an external server. If you have any questions regarding the integration of the 6200 into
your network, consult your friendly IT/IS personnel or your network hardware’s documentation.
More information and a list of public servers in the US can be found at:

or by searching for the “NIST Internet Time Service”.
Entering the Time Server IP Address and Enabling Network Time Polling
1. Press the HOME button to ensure that we are starting from the top.
2. Press the NEXT button once.
3. Turn the ADJUST knob clockwise until the display reads “Section to Edit, - Setup Menu -”.
4. Press the NEXT button once.
5. Turn the ADJUST knob clockwise until the display reads “- Setup Menu -, -- Date and Time --”.
6. Press the NEXT button nine times and the display should read “Time Server IP, 000.000.000.000”.
8. Turn the ADJUST knob clockwise until the display reads until the first three digits of the IP address match the first three
digits of the IP address for your chosen time server.
9. Press the NEXT button once and repeat step 8 to enter the next three digits of the address.
10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 two more times to complete the address.
11. Press the NEXT button once and the display should read “Network Time Polling, Disabled”.
12. Turn the ADJUST knob clockwise once to enable Network Time Polling.
13. Press the HOME button when finished.
NOTE: When “NETWORK TIME POLLING” is enabled on the 6200 and a successful synchronization with a time server has
occurred, an “N” character will appear in the upper right side of the “In LVL” and “Out LVL” menus accessed by pressing the
HOME button once then turning the ADJUST knob clockwise once (for “In LVL”) or twice (for “Out LVL”).
Don’t forget to configure the unit’s IP settings under Ethernet Connection in the following section!
