LANTIME M100/GPS : NTP Time Server with GPS Reference Clock for DIN Rail Installations


LANTIME M100 time servers can be installed to provide accurate time to small and medium sized computer networks. This entry level time server synchronizes all systems either NTP- or SNTP-compatible utilizing a built-in Meinberg GPS radio clock as its primary reference time source. A stable and precise oscillator is capable of bridging interferences or a temporary loss of reception. Its compact form factor offers an ideal solution to network time synchronization needs in industrial and power generation/distribution networks.

Description


The GNU/Linux operating system of the LANTIMEs SBC (Single Board Computer) has been optimized to ensure a high level of security and reliability.

Three LEDs (green/red) indicate the status of the three main components: Reference Time (GPS), Time Synchronization Service (NTP) and Network (Link status). A fourth red LED is labeled ALARM and can be configured to signal any event that is covered by the notification handling routines.

The configuration of the system can be done by using a standard web browser for accessing the extensive but straightforward html interface. Alternatively a text based and menu driven setup utility can be started from the shell prompt after logging into the unit via Telnet or SSH. Initial configuration can be performed using the RS232 console port and a terminal program.

The security-related features of LANTIME time servers satisfy highest demands. The time synchronization data can be reliably signed and secured by symmetric keys (MD5) and the NTP autokey procedures. This protects the clients against manipulated time and man-in-the-middle attacks and allows them to verify that the NTP packets they received were send by the LANTIME. Additionally the whole LANTIME configuration can be done by using encrypted channels (e.g. SSH, HTTPS or SNMPv3). Every unused/unneeded protocol can be disabled in order to reduce possible points of attack.

In order to support network management systems the LANTIME time servers offer an extensive SNMP interface, which can be accessed by SNMP V1, V2.c and V3. It allows the monitoring of all relevant system parameters (including operating system parameters, network interface statistics, detailed GPS and NTP status information as well as the complete system configuration) and can be used to alter the LANTIME configuration via SNMP set commands, too.

LANTIME time servers are designed to be deployed in IPv6 networks, the NTP time synchronization as well as the configuration interfaces (Web-based, SSH and SNMP) comes with IPv6 support. You can assign several IPv6 addresses and the system supports automatic configuration by IPv6 autoconf.

The LANTIME M100/GPS is equipped with a high precision "TCXO" oscillator (please check our oscillator options page for technical specifications). The oscillator determines the holdover characteristics (e.g. when the GPS signal is disturbed or jammed).
