LANTIME M600: High End NTP Time Server


The Meinberg LANTIME time server is used around the world to provide accurate time to networks of any size. It synchronizes all systems either NTP- or SNTP-compatible and uses an integral Meinberg reference clock as its time source to synchronize all timing outputs with the utmost accuracy. The front panel includes a VF Display and keypad for easy configuration, and indication of the receiver and NTP subsystem status. A high quality precision OCXO is standard in the M600, to allow this time server to meet the stringent holdover requirements.

Product Description

Brilliant VF-Display
A large VF display shows the state of the internal GPS receiver and the NTP subsystem. 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 labelled ALARM and can be configured to signal any event that is covered by the notification handling routines.

High precise Oscillator
The LANTIME M600 GPS is equipped with high precision oscillator "OCXO LQ" (look at oscillator options for details) as standard. The oscillator determines the holdover characteristics (e.g. when the GPS signal is disturbed or jammed). Oscillator options like "OCXO MQ", "OCXO HQ", "OCXO DHQ". A Rubidium oscillator is available for our 3U modular systems (LANTIME M900) to fulfill higher requirements.
