Factory Default Settings
RESET CONFIGURATION TO FACTORY DEFAULT
In some situations it may be necessary to return the unit to
factory default settings. To reset to factory default:
1. Find the reset button, located on the rear of the unit
next to the USB port (at left).
2. While the unit is powered on, hold the button in for 5
seconds or until the led goes dark.
3. The unit will go through an initialization process.
WinDiscovery Installation and Operation
Included on the CD with your Masterclock CS5 LAN Injector is
the WinDiscovery software application for detection,
configuration and management of all your NTP devices from
Masterclock.
The application operates in the Microsoft Windows OS.
INSTALLING WINDISCOVERY
If you haven’t already done so, insert the CD that shipped
with your Masterclock CS5 LAN Injector to automatically
install WinDiscovery. If Auto Run is not enabled on your
computer:
1. Run the “setup.exe” application from the CD
2. By default, the setup utility will suggest installing files to
C:\Program Files\Masterclock\WinDiscovery
3. Click the [OK] button
USING WINDISCOVERY
Open WinDiscovery from the “Start Menu” or by double-
clicking the shortcut icon on the desktop.
When a device is
connected to
WinDiscovery via USB
to the PC, the device
will appear in blue as
seen here.

Click the [Discover] button to reveal all the devices accessible
on the network. The status bar will display the count of
devices found. When complete (please wait until “100%”
appears then disappears), a list of device families and groups
will be displayed in the left pane of the WinDiscovery
window. Click the [+] buttons to reveal the individual devices.
Click the [-] buttons to hide them.
Each device is configured with a device name from the
factory. Each device name includes the model name and a
MAC address extension.
You should change the device name to one that can identify
the location of the device.
It is highly recommended that only one user opens
WinDiscovery at a time. Other methods should not be used to
manage the network devices while using this app.
NETWORK CONFIGURATION
The network configuration (lower near left) may be viewed in
summary by clicking the [Network Configuration] button.
DEVICE SETTINGS (DS)
The “Device Settings”window (lower left) configures the
Masterclock CS5 LAN INJECTOR to receive and display in the
format that you prefer.
The top right section of the “Device Settings” window shows
a list of the firmware and options associated with your
Masterclock CS5 LAN INJECTOR.
The rest of the “Device Settings” window includes access to
all configuration options for the network. These include
display properties and administrative functions, such as
password. There is also a status display to monitor the
Masterclock CS5 LAN INJECTOR communication status.
Any changes made in this window, including all the buttons
thereon, will not be applied until you click the [Save] button,
or the [Save and Close] button, prior to clicking the [Exit]
button.
DS > NETWORK CONFIGURATION
As on the earlier described window, the “Network
Configuration”window may be viewed in summary by

DS > COMMUNICATIONS CONTROL
Certain advanced features may be configured using the
[Communications Control] button. This gives access to the
“Telnet Control”window (below).
DS > CLOCK CONTROL SETTINGS
Use this menu to configure which remote MDNXX displays
will respond to the MASTERCLOCK CS5 LAN INJECTOR CS-5
network injector.
The left column shows the “Available Clock.”
The right column shows the clocks “Assigned to this Device.”
Use the buttons located in the center to move a device from
the “Available” to the “Assigned” column. Move all available
clock displays by pressing [All >] and [< All], and [>] and [<] to
move individual clock displays. When finished, click [Ok] and
the assignment will be saved.
[Clear All Device Assignments] button
This feature allows the end user to clear all associations
between all the MASTERCLOCK CS5 LAN INJECTOR s and all
the clock displays.
By clicking [Ok], all MASTERCLOCK CS5 LAN Injectors and
clock displays on the network will have their assignments
cleared. This is a global “clear all.” In order for a
MASTERCLOCK CS5 LAN INJECTOR to regain control of a clock
display, it will need to go through the “Clock Assignment”
configuration process again.
[CS-5 Encrypted] Select for Masterclock proprietary format.
Packets directed from specific device to specific MDN clocks.
[CS-Standard] Select for non-encrypted, directed to IP
addresses of independent devices.
DS > ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS (AF)
Click the [Administrative Functions] button to open a menu
that is rarely accessed. These include: 1. [Set Password] and
2. [Reset Device].
DS > AF > SET PASSWORD
Click the [Set Password] button to create a new password.
You will need to enter the old password. A warning is printed
on this window concerning the ramifications of forgetting an
appliance password. In a worst-case scenario you would have
to reset the Masterclock CS5 LAN Injector to its factory
default settings. That reverts back to the factory default
password: “public”.
There is another method to set a password discussed further
in this document and describes more fully the rules
surrounding password usage.

SET PASSWORD
Each Masterclock device in your network may have its own
password (see the “Properties” window to [Set Password]),
or you may create a Global Password on the “Discover”
window (see below). The default password is “public”.
Your custom password should be one to eleven characters
and is case-sensitive. For added password strength, you
should use both alphanumeric and special ASCII characters.
The password must be entered twice to confirm the entry.
Click [Change Password] to save it.
When a password is set for a device, each time you click [OK],
[Apply] or [Apply and Close] for that device you will be asked
for the password. You can select the [Remember this
password for the session] button and you will not be
prompted for the password, until you restart WinDiscovery.
Or you can use the Global Password feature (see below).
If you enter the wrong password and selected the
[Remember this password for the session] checkbox, you will
receive an error upon clicking [OK], [Apply] or [Apply and
Close] to any configuration changes. You can close the
WinDiscovery session to forget the wrong password(s).
However, this will require entering the password(s) again for
each device.
You can also remove the incorrect password entry during a
WinDiscovery session by going to the drop-down menu for
the device (right click to see this) and selecting the [Forget
memorized password]button.
GLOBAL PASSWORD
The [Global Password] button (at left on the “Network
Device Discovery” window) allows the user to enter a single
password once for all NTP devices. During subsequent
sessions you will not have to reenter the password.
ENABLING / DISABLING GLOBAL PASSWORD
To enable the Global Password:
1. Check “Enable Global Password”
2. Type your password.
3. Click [OK]
To disable the Global Password:
1. De-select the “Enable Global Password” checkbox
2. Click [OK].
The Global Password being used must match
the password on all the devices being
administered. On any new system being
installed, the factory default global password is
“public”.

Telnet
Those with Linux and other non-Windows operating
systems will not be able to use WinDiscovery.
For Windows and non-Windows users alike, a terminal-
style configuration interface is available via Telnet to
specify the IP address of the clock as the server with
which to connect.
The factory default port is Telnet server port 23.
By default, Microsoft Windows 7 has the Telnet Client
disabled.
TO INITIATE A TELNET SESSION IN WINDOWS
Select the Run command-line interface from the Start menu
and enter the command “Telnet” followed by a space, and
then the IP address of the unit and click [OK].
TO ENABLE TELNET IN WINDOWS
Open the Windows Control Panel, click on [Programs], click
on [Turn Windows features on or off], check [√] Telnet Client
and click [OK].
TO ENABLE TELNET IN LINUX
See your system administrator.
Configuration via Telnet may not be
convenient for devices operating with a
factory default configuration since the IP
address is not known. Use the
WinDiscovery application to establish
first-time networking configuration.
For security purposes, the Telnet interface
can be disabled. When disabled, you will
no longer be able to access the device
with Telnet. To re-enable the Telnet
feature, one of the other configuration
methods must be used, or the clock must
be reset to factory default.
If you are not familiar with Telnet, ask
your network administrator for
assistance.
