characters, default NIST information and a glossary of used terms.
TS-3000iWeb Clock General Information
The TS-3000iWeb Time clock is a system with a web interface which
provides users an accurate time stamp. This clock will run on its own
using elaborate scheduling time synchronization with a backup system
that can send alerts (SNMP traps & e-mail notification) plus reports to
designated recipients on time sync events for potential audit.

1-2 TS-3000iWeb Clock Installation & Operation Guide
The TS-3000iWeb Clock utilizes Zero Configuration Networking
(Zeroconf), a set of techniques that will automatically create a usable
network IP address without configuration or special services. This allows
users to connect TS-3000i’s together and expect them to work
automatically. Without Zeroconf, a user must either set up special
services, like Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain
Name System (DNS), or set up each device’s network settings manually.
This may be challenging for non-technical or novice users.
The TS-3000iWeb clock can be synchronized from a National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST) NTP (Network Time Protocol) time
server, or internal time server via Ethernet®connection (see Figure 1-1).
The Amano Time Validation System (ATVS) time synchronization
software works in conjunction with one or many Amano TS-3000iWeb
clocks, Amano PIX-3000xN and PIX-3000xNT time clocks (see Chapter
6: TS-3000i and ATVS Software). All communication with the TS-3000i
clock is via a network TCP/IP connection. The TS-3000iWeb clock auto
discovery and configuration can be accomplished via simple instructions
(see Chapter 3: Quick Start).
End-users may never need to change the configuration settings after the
initial configuration setup. However, it is recommended that all
configuration settings should be recorded in the event that the setup
needs to be repeated in the future.
Figure 1-1: TS-3000iWeb Clock Time Synchronization

TS-3000iWeb Clock Installation & Operation Guide 1-3
During the configuration process, both the event logger and scheduler
use the same supporting configuration files located in the clock. The
event logger runs in the clock with a scheduler that runs in the
background as a service.
The TS-3000iWeb Clock can optionally obtain power from a Full Power
Reserve (FPR) or Power over Ethernet (PoE) (see Figure 1-1). Power
over Ethernet or PoE technology describes a system to transfer electrical
power, along with data, to remote devices over standard twisted-pair
cable in an Ethernet network.
What is OATS Compliance?
The TS-3000iWeb Clock has been specially designed by Amano in
compliance with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)
Order Audit Trail System (OATS) rule 7430 (formerly NASD OATS Rule
6953 & NYSE Rule 132A), Synchronization of Member Business Clocks
described as follows:
Rule 7430 requires any FINRA member firm that records order,
transaction or related data required under the By-Laws and Rules of
the Association to synchronize all business clocks used to record the
date and time of any market event. Clocks, including computer
system clocks and manual time stamp machines, must record time in
hours, minutes and seconds with to-the-second granularity and must
be synchronized to a source that is synchronized to within three
seconds of the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) atomic clock. Clocks must be synchronized once a day prior
to the opening of the market, and remain in synch throughout the
day. In addition, firms are to maintain a copy of their clock
synchronization procedures on-site. Clocks not used to record the
date and time of market events need not be synchronized.
TS-3000iWeb Clock Features
xDHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) compatibility for IP
address management and other parameters (Subnet Mask and
Gateway) from the DHCP server, which ensures each IP address, is
unique. This is provided by the Digi Connect ME®which provides a
Network Interface Card (NIC).

1-4 TS-3000iWeb Clock Installation & Operation Guide
xOptional PoE (Power over Ethernet) accessory, which includes Full
Power Reserve (FPR option).
xAutomatic time synchronization to an official time source.
xEvent notification through Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) traps. This feature enables network administrators to
centrally manage time clock performance, find problems and solve
them in a timely manner.
xNTP (Network Time Protocol) syncs clocks to a time reference over
a data network.
xDirect synchronization to the time source rather than to a computer.
xLog-in security for two (2) separate users.
xSynchronization transaction data maintained per FINRA Rule 7430
requirements.
xFull OATS compliance with stand-alone units not linked to a PC.
xComplete solution without the need for individual trader computers.
xReport for transaction log (time sync).
xMaximum Sync of once every 2 hours for improved accuracy with up
to 12 time validations a day per schedule. The clock can store 5
years of data utilizing one normal sync schedule of 2 syncs per day
for OATS compliance.
xCompatible with IE, Safari, and Firefox Web browsers.
xEmploys Windows Services to perform synchronization.
xE-mail notification of clock failure to synchronize the time,
configurable to send e-mail notification to chosen recipients.
TS-3000iWeb Clock Benefits
xAssures financial institutions’ compliance with OATS Rule 7430 as
per FINRA/SEC.
xThe TS-3000iWeb Clock will continue to function and maintain time
as a stand-alone unit, even if it does not receive synchronization
from an NTP time server.
xThe TS-3000iWeb Clock is the highest quality OATS-compliant time
stamp available.
