INTRODUCTION
The NTS-6001 is a rack-mount time server based on an embedded Linux operating system and is
designed to serve as a time source for medium to large companies. The rack-mount unit combines
the ability to synchronise time across networks and peer multiple time servers, with the stability of a
dedicated operating system to provide a stable and reliable time source.
WEB CONFIGURATION FEATURES
New, fresh User Interface (UI)
New HTTP daemon with the support for the latest technologies (TLS 1.2, Modern Cipher
Suites, Strict Transport Security)
Failover support
Configuration backups
Custom SSL certificate support
Better SNMP support
More advanced debugging
Performance improvements
Reduced requirement to restart the unit when changing configuration files
Customisation of NTP Authentication Keys and the NTP Configuration
Checks the status of the time source connected to the unit
Checks the overall status of the unit

WEB CONFIGURATION
LOGGING ON TO THE UNIT
Using a web browser, such as Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer, navigate to the address of your
unit. The address of your unit will use the following format: ‘https://<IP Addr>’ where <IP Addr> is
the IP Address of your unit as shown on the front LCD.
This is to be entered into the Address Bar of the browser.
Upon navigating to the address of your unit, a login prompt will appear before allowing you access
to the Web Configuration. The Default username and password are ‘administrator’ and ‘password’.
If your network does not support DHCP, then your unit may not appear on the network to start with.
In order to ‘see’ your unit on the network, you may need to set the IP Address manually on the unit
itself. To do this, please see ‘Setting the IP Address Manually’ in the Technical Support section [Page
7].

DASHBOARD
Upon successful login, you will be taken to the Configuration System Homepage. To the left side of
the screen, you’ll find the navigation menu. Use this menu to work through the Status and
Configuration for the unit.
This page displays the current date and time that the unit has been set to and whether or not the
unit is synchronised. It also shows the Network Card configuration and antenna status identifying if
anything isn’t working properly.
Note: It’s highly recommended to make changing your password one of the first things you do when
setting up the unit.
Note: The time displayed is in the UTC time zone. It may not match your wall clock depending on
what time zone you are in and whether daylight savings time is in effect. This does not affect
whether the correct time is shown on client PCs. Clients use the time in UTC from the server plus
information about their local time to calculate the correct local time.

NETWORK TAB
NETWORKING
This shows the current network settings, and allows you to customise them however you wish. To
make them active the settings must be saved to flash and the system rebooted.
Both Ethernet ports on the unit will be displayed. Port 0 (eth0) is the default primary port and Port 1
(eth1) is the secondary port.
By default eth0 will be set to DHCP and will be provided by your network, unless you configured it
manually before connecting to your network (explained in the hardware manual).
You can disable DHCP and set Static settings by changing the IP Address, the Subnet Mask, the
Gateway and Hostname for both IPv4 and IPv6 for each available network port.
You can also configure up to 2 DNS Servers, the Domain Name and appoint a Syslog Server for the
unit.
Note: Changing these settings requires the unit to be rebooted for them to take effect.

TEAMING
This enables you to allow both Network cards to work together as one single card. This provides
more bandwidth for the network and also allows for redundancy.
When this feature is disabled, each network card remains separate and cannot pass data between
each other, keeping both network connections secure.
Modes for the Linux bonding driver (network interface aggregation modes) are supplied in the
configuration file. The behaviour of the single logical bonded interface depends upon its specified
bonding driver mode. The default parameter is balance-rr.
balance-rr - This provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
active-backup - This mode provides fault tolerance.
balance-xor - This selects the same slave for each destination MAC address and provides
load balancing and fault tolerance.
broadcast - This mode is least used (only for specific purpose) and provides only fault
tolerance.
balance-tlb - This is called as adaptive transmit load balancing.
balance-alb - This is Adaptive load balancing mode, this includes balance-tlb + receive load
balancing (rlb) for IPV4 traffic.

SERVICES TAB
SERVICE STATUS
Here you can see the status of any of the services on the Network Time Server.
Note: The clock services may be running, but it does not indicate that the physical clock is either
connected and/or providing a time. The NTP Service will not run until the unit has received an initial
time signal.

SSH
This allows you to toggle SSH on/off to remotely access the unit's operating system, using software
such as PuTTY.
SNMP
This allows for the configuration of SNMP.
Here you can add custom information to the SNMP configuration. The MIBs can be downloaded
from the unit itself or alternatively they can be found on the support site at galleonsupport.com for
your reference.

NTP TAB
NTP STATUS
This is where you can check the status of the NTP process and see the sources that this process is
synchronised with, including the state of these sources.
The host names or addresses shown in the remote column correspond to the server and peer entries
listed in the configuration file; however, the DNS names might not agree if the names listed are not
the canonical DNS names.
The refid column shows the current source of synchronisation, while the st column reveals the
stratum, t the type (u = unicast, m = multicast, l = local), and poll, the poll interval in seconds.
The when column shows the time since the peer was last heard in seconds, while the reach column
shows the status of the reachability register (see RFC-1305) in octal.
The remaining entries show the latest delay, offset and jitter in milliseconds. Note that in NTP
Version 4, what used to be the dispersion column has been replaced by the jitter column.
The currently selected peer is marked *, while additional peers designated acceptable for
synchronisation, but not currently selected, are marked +. Peers marked * and + are included in the
weighted average computation to set the local clock; the data produced by peers marked with other
symbols are discarded. See the ntpq page for the meaning of these symbols.

BROADCAST
This allows you to set the unit to Broadcast and/or Multicast in addition to answering NTP requests,
enabling these options does not stop the unit from responding to NTP requests.

NTP features.

SELF-SIGNED CERTIFICATE
Self-Signed Certificates allow the unit to sign itself. This process involves entering the required
information and applying the generated certificate.
Note: There are 3 different key lengths to choose from; 1024, 2048 and 4096. The larger the key
length, the more secure it is.
Note: The longer the key the longer it can take to generate the certificate. Please do not leave or
refresh the page during this process as this may cause issues with the web server that runs this
configuration panel.

SSL CERTIFICATE
SSL-Signed Certificates allow you to get a certificate signed by your CA (Certificate Authority). This
process involves entering the required information, submitting the request to the CA, entering the
response and applying the certificate.
Note: There are 3 different key lengths to choose from; 1024, 2048 and 4096. The larger the key
length, the more secure it is.
