30 IP-852 Channel Parameters
Choosing an SNTP Server
You can obtain an IP address for an SNTP server for your IP-852 Channel in any of the
following ways:
• Ask your network administrator for the IP address of an SNTP server in your
corporate network.
• Connect to a time server on the Internet. There are many available public access
servers; a comprehensive list may be found at
http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Servers/StratumTwoTimeServers
.
• Install an SNTP server on any computer in your LAN. You can use the same
computer on which the IP-852 Configuration Server is installed. One option is
Tardis2000 shareware available from
http://www.kaska.demon.co.uk
. You can configure
the software to synchronize with any other SNTP server, or use local time on the
computer by setting Tardis2000 to use the loop back address 127.0.0.1.
