3.2.1 Network Setup
By default the network parameters are setup to static address 192.168.1.15. The Time Server is able to
use DHCP, but the rest of the network will need to be able to automatically adjust to its IP address
should it change. This would involve setup with DHCP and DNS systems. Usually, static setup is
recommended. Addresses in the Network section must be entered in IPv4, dotted quad, format.
All of these parameters require a restart to take effect.
3.2.2 GPS Lock and Signal Information
At the top of the Time Server Configuration page is status information about the software version in the
Time Server and from the GPS module in the Time Server. The Firmware Version is displayed and
should be known before calling Time Machines for support. The “GPS:” lable will state whether the
GPS is locked to satellite signals or not. A “LOCKED” status in green letters is required for operation.
The “Signal Strength” line will give the signal strength of the top three satellites being received. The
possible range is from 0 to 99dB SNR.
3.2.3 Use DHCP
Checking this option will tell the Time Server to ignore the other IP address settings and request an IP
address from the network's DHCP server at startup.
3.2.4 IP Address
If the DHCP option is not being used, then the IP address of the unit set to by entering a standard IPv4
dotted quad in this field. 192.168.1.15 or 10.10.0.96 are examples of acceptable formats for this field.
3.2.5 Netmask
The Netmask entry determines what addresses on on the local network and what addresses are reached
through the Gateway. Typical Netmasks are 255.255.0.0 or 255.255.255.0. Consult the network
administrator for more information on who this entry should be set.
3.2.6 Gateway
The Gateway IP address is used when a destination address is determine to not be on the local network.
Consult the network administrator for this setting.
3.2.7 Primary/Secondary DNS Servers
The DNS server entries are used to resolve fully qualified doman names (FQDN) to IP addresses before
contacting them. This is rarely needed by the Time Server. Consult the network administrator for these
settings.
3.2.8 MAC
This is an information only field and displays the MAC address of the Time Server.
