Download Datasheet for
SyncServer S100

 

Your systems need to know what time it is. Business transactions, security controls, digital signatures, and system performance tools can’t be trusted unless they all run on the same time, and unless that time is accurate and secure. Now with SyncServer S100 there is a way to provide time that your systems can trust.
SyncServer S100 is a network time server. It acquires time either from a non-network source or from another SyncServer and delivers it to computers and other devices on a network. One SyncServer needs to acquire time from a known good source for all other SyncServers within the network to synchronize with that source.

Accurate
Acquires UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) from GPS signals or by dial-up to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (U.S.) or other UTC source. Only one SyncServer S100 in your network need acquire UTC directly.

Secure
Computers on a network synchronize with an Internet-based time source (including SyncServers) using NTP, the Network Time Protocol, to exchange packets of time. SyncServer implements NTP Version 4. This minimizes the ability of hackers to spoof time packets and use NTP to gain access to your systems. Unlike previous versions, NTP Version 4 implements asymmetric encryption — the same technique used by secure web sites to protect credit card numbers and other sensitive information from unintended interception.

Web-based management
Set up and configure all SyncServers from any point on the web using a standard browser. SyncServer S100 also supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for easy integration into your existing management hierarchy. For maximum flexibility, SyncServer S100 can also be set up, configured and managed using a Telnet or RS-232 serial connection.

Reduced network congestion
Network congestion can occur if all network devices attempt to synchronize with a single time server. With SyncServer S100, multiple time servers can be present to balance the network traffic.

Easy to set up.
It’s not always convenient or possible to receive GPS signals at each location. Not all SyncServers need to be connected to an external time source so that multiple antennas are not necessary.
