NTS-6002 OVERVIEW
TIME SIGNALS
Incorporating a Linux operating system, the NTS-6002 device synchronises network time from
behind a network firewall, sourcing time from up to 12 GPS satellites, or a secondary time receiver,
including: the MSF radio signal in Anthorn, UK; the DCF signal in Frankfurt, Germany or the WWVB
radio signal in Colorado, USA.
GPS/MSF ANTENNAS
The GPS antenna is fully outdoor ready and functions at its best with a 360° view of the sky. Ideally,
the antenna should be positioned on a rooftop for optimum performance. The antenna can be
installed up to 500m (1,640ft) away from the time server device, or alternatively, up to 1,000m
(3,280ft) if you purchased an optional antenna extension kit.
MSF antennas should be externally mounted on a roof and pointed towards the correct transmitter.
However, they can be used indoors in the vicinity of a window.
INDEPENDENT NETWORKS
Featuring dual Ethernet ports, the NTS-6002 can synchronise time across two independent networks
and, as a ‘stratum 1’ device, supplies time to all other devices connected to a network. It can serve
time to thousands of devices, handling 500,000 NTP requests per minute.
The device connects directly to a network via a CAT5/CAT6 Ethernet cable [see fig 1] and is designed
to fit in a standard 19” [1U] rack [see fig 2].

Plug and play installation for set up simplicity, can be configured via a web browser, no
knowledge of Linux required
Front panel display showing antenna status and system information
Supports over 500,000 NTP requests per minute
Support for GPS and radio-based synchronisation for redundancy
Full support for MD5-based authentication and peering with other NTP servers
Dual Ethernet interface allows for redundancy or can be used to keep the public and private
networks separate
Upgradable flash memory allows for a unit in a locked down environment to receive
software updates
For security, the unit is locked down. All unnecessary services are disabled and the unit
utilises HTTPS and TLS to protect passwords

INSTALLATION
Position the NTS-6002 on a rack-mount shelf or another convenient location. Note –you will
need to run a cable from this location either to the roof or a window.
Once positioned, connect the AC power cord [see fig 6] at the back of the device and plug
into your electrical outlet.
Then, connect the device to a network using a standard RJ-45 cable [see fig 7]. If your
network supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol [DHCP], the NTS-6002 will
automatically obtain an IP Address. For use across an additional network, connect a second
RJ-45 cable to the second port on the device.
You’re now ready to connect the antenna [see fig 8 for GPS and fig 9 for Radio]. Connect the
antenna cable to the input port marked ‘Antenna’ [refer to page 3 - NTS-6002 ‘At a Glance’
–for guidance]. For optimum GPS antenna performance, mount on a roof. For optimum
Radio antenna performance, mount on a roof and point towards correct transmitter.*
Ensure that you leave enough slack cable to reposition the NTS-6002 device if needed and
remember, the cable distance should not exceed 1,000m.
*Note –avoid positioning antennas in the proximity of air conditioning systems and power
distribution units as they will cause electrical interference.

Extending the cable [see pages 10-13 for additional information] - If you are extending the cable to
a length of 500m or more then you will need an extra power source, located either on the roof, or
accessible from the roof.
