2 The System IMS-M500
2.1 IMS - Systems
The brand IMS describes a product family of Meinberg radio clocks for synchronization of
time and frequency signals in networks and of directly connected systems such as signal distributors.
Meinberg’s IMS Series (Intelligent Modular Synchronization) offers built-in redundancy for synchronization
sources and power supplies in combination with highly modular slot based chassis, which support hot-swapping
and field-expansion capabilities.
The design of our IMS enclosures allows to use up to four power supplies (both AC and DC variants can
be mixed and matched), two time code receivers in combination with a signal switch module, a CPU board and
up to ten I/O slots.
2.2 Target Audience
This manual is intended for professionals responsible for the installation, commissioning, maintenance, trou-
bleshooting or operation of any of the equipment within the specified product range.
The structure and spelling of this manual assumes that the installation and commissioning technicians have
knowledge of the use of electronical devices and network components.
2.3 Return of Equipment
All parts and components of your Meinberg system may only be repaired by Meinberg. In the event of a
malfunction, the customer must contact our support service and never attempt to repair the device himself.
To request a device repair service, call Meinberg Technical Support to check shipping options and obtain
the Return Material Authorization (RMA) number for shipping.
You can also request the RMA number from our website:
https://www.meinbergglobal.com/english/support/rma.htm.
The device must be packed in its original packaging or suitable packaging to protect it from shock and moisture.
Send your device to the manufacturer’s address, including sender identification and RMA number.
What must be included with the shipment?
Please return the device complete with accessories such as antenna or cable if possible. This may be important
for troubleshooting.

3 IMS-M500 System Description
3 IMS-M500 System Description
3.1 Device Design, Functions and Area of Application
The IMS-LANTIME-System is a set of equipment composed of a reference module, a single-board computer
module (LAN-CPU) with integrated network card, and a power supply unit, all installed in a modular chassis
and ready to operate. The input/output signals of the IMS systems are provided on the connection side via I/O
modules.
The implemented NTPD distributes the reference time from the reference module cyclic in the network. Infor-
mation on the NTPD is monitored on the LC-Display (if available) or can be queried via the network.
The installation of an IMS LANTIME is very easy for the system/network administrator. The network ad-
dress, the netmask and the default gateway have to be configured from the front panel of LANTIME. The
network address or the equivalent name of LANTIME has to be shown to all NTP clients in the TCP/IP network.
As well as NTP the Linux system also supports a number of further network protocols: HTTP(S), FTP, SSH
and Telnet. Because of this remote configuration or status requests can come from any WEB browser. This
access via the network can be deactivated. Changes in the receiver status, errors or other important events are
logged either on the local Linux system or on an external SYSLOG-Server. In addition messages can be sent to
a data center via SNMP traps or automatically generated e-mails where they can be recorded. Furthermore all
alarm messages can be displayed by the large display VP100/20/NET that is accessed via network connection.
In order to avoid a service interruption several LANTIME NTP servers can be installed in the same network to
obtain redundancy.

3.2 IMS System Variants
The IMS system variants differ primarily in their housing form.
19 inch rack mount chassis
The base chassis contains a power supply, a receiver and the LANTIME CPU. This provides further slots
for additional input and output modules.
M1000(S): four slots for expansion cards
three slots for expansion cards in redundant receiver configuration
M2000S: six slots for expansion cards
M3000(S): ten slots for expansion cards
M4000: ten slots for expansion cardsn
Redundant power supply and receiver solutions can be implemented for the following IMS series models:
M1000(S): up to two power supplies and two receivers
M2000S: up to three power supplies and two receivers
M3000(S): up to four power supplies and two receivers
M4000: up to four power supplies and two receivers
Railmount Chassis
The base chassis contains a power supply, a receiver and the LANTIME CPU.
M500: two slots for expansion cards
one configurable expansion slot (CES) with two optional output signals
