LANTIME M600/PTP: PTPv2 / IEEE 1588-2008 Grandmaster Clock and NTP Time Server with integrated GPS or GPS/GLONASS radio clock

The Meinberg LANTIME time server is used around the world to provide accurate time to networks of any size. It synchronizes all PTPv2 / IEEE 1588-2008 compatible clients and systems either NTP- or SNTP-compatible and uses a built-in Meinberg GPS or GPS/GLONASS satellite receiver as its reference time source. A highly stable and precise oscillator is capable of bridging interferences or a temporary loss of reception.

Product Description

Being a very stable IEEE 1588-2008 Grandmaster clock, the LANTIME M600/PTP not only provides a highly accurate source of synchronization for PTP clients ("slaves" like the PTP270PEX), it additionally introduces the absolute time ("current time of day") to your PTP networks.

The GNU/Linux operating system of the LANTIMEs SBC (Single Board Computer) has been optimized to ensure a high level of security and reliability. A large VF-Display shows the state of the internal GNSS receiver and the NTP subsystem.

The configuration of the system can be done by using a standard web browser to access 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.

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/GLONASS 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.

The PTP V2 multicast implementation of the LANTIME is fully compliant to the IEEE 1588-2008 standard (two step clocks) and provides PTP management messages as well.

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.

Because of its modular system architecture it is possible to equip a LANTIME time server with a number of different reference time sources. Optionally several additional frequency-, serial string- and pulse outputs are available and by combining two (even different) time sources and redundant power supplies, high-availability systems are no problem.

The LANTIME M600 PTP is equipped with high precision oscillator "OCXO HQ" (look at oscillator options for details) as standard. The oscillator determines the holdover characteristics (e.g. when the satellite signal is disturbed or jammed). The oscillator option "OCXO DHQ" is available to fulfill higher requirements.
