LANTIME M200 :: Compact NTP Time Server with integrated Reference Clock
Product Description
Meinberg's custom Linux-based LANTIME OS, a slim & secure operating system developed specially for the needs of a time server, powers the LANTIME M250 under the hood, providing access to all the security, network, and monitoring features that you could ever need from an enterprise-grade synchronization appliance.
The powerful Web UI enables you to quickly and easily configure and monitor your LANTIME device, while the CLI provides power users with unparalleled flexibility and efficiency. The comprehensive LANTIME OS REST API provides a complete toolset for your network orchestration and automation needs, and SNMP support allows you to integrate your Meinberg systems into your existing network management system.
Oscillator Options
The LANTIME M250 is shipped as standard with a “TCXO” (temperature-controlled crystal oscillator), which provides excellent holdover performance if your server loses synchronization with its upstream reference for any reason. The LANTIME M250 may also be shipped on request with a more powerful holdover solution (OCXO LQ/SQ/MQ/HQ/DHQ).
