1 GPS - NTP Time Server 8029NTS/GPS
By GPS time synchronization and the worldwide used time protocol NTP (Network Time
Protocol) the Time Server 8029NTS/GPS turns into a highly accurate NTP Stratum 1 Time
Server. It is used for the synchronization of computers and industrial networks.
The Time Server supports the following synchronization protocols:
•NTP (incl. SNTP)
•Daytime
•Time
•SINEC H1 time datagram (Activation Key necessary)
The Time Server is integrated into a compact DIN Rail housing and is characterized by its
easy and simple operation, although it offers a broad range of functions. Some of the
practice-oriented functionalities are:
•Complete parameterisation via protected WebGUI access
All required settings for operation can be executed via a password proteded WebGUI
also giving an overview of the status of the Time Server 8029NTS/GPS.
•Monitoring of GPS antenna circuit
An error message is generated when there is a short circuit in the GPS antenna circuit
or an open antenna input.
•Automatic switch-over of summer/winter time (initial setting required)
After initial commissioning there is no user intervention for a correct summer/winter
time changeover for the following years required.
•Automatic handling of the leap second
Insertion of a leap second in UTC time is automatically recognised and executed by
the the Time Sever 8029NTS/GPS.

A superior security is guaranteed via available coding procedures such as symmetric keys,
autokey and access restrictions and deactivation of non-used protocols.
Diffferent Managemenet and Monitoring Functions are availabe as options (e.g. SNMP,
SNMP-Traps, E-mail notification, Syslog-messages including MIB II and private Enterprise
MIB).
Currently the Time Server 8029NTS/GPS offers following unlockable functions:
•SINEC H1 time datagram
•Static Routing Table
•Alarming and management features
•IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN
A few other basic functions of the Time Server 8029NTS/GPS:
•The Time Server 8029NTS/GPS operates as NTP Server with Stratum 1
•Easy operation via WebGUI
•Status LEDs on the front panel
•Sync status output via optical coupler
•High freewhell accuracy provided by GPS-supported regulation of the internal quartz
basis
•Completely maintance-free system
•SyncOFF Timer (reception failure bypassing) for operation free of fault messages
even based on difficult reception conditions
•Redundant multiple validation of the synchronization signal for an error-free and
leapfree signal evaluation
•Maintefnace-free, buffered backup clock for at least three days
