Whilst traditional solutions involve atomic clock radio receivers or GPS sensors linked to an expensive rackmounted master clock server, TIMENET Pro integrates the GPS receiver and NTP clock server into a compact device for direct connection to the network. TIMENET Pro can be wall-mounted, uses very little power and is less than half the cost of competing solutions. TIMENET Pro can be powered over the network by POE, or locally by a low voltage power supply. TIMENET Pro provides a clean and simple browser interface for setting up the IP address and configuration password. The status tab displays information such as system up-time, GPS lock, UTC and local time, plus an extremely useful satellite signal meter. This meter shows satellites in view, and their signal strength. Simply connect the antenna to the TIMENET Pro and the TIMENET Pro to your POE network switch. Configure the IP address via the easy-to-use browser interface and the TIMENET Pro installation is complete. The antenna that is supplied with the unit includes a 5 metre long cable. This can be further extended by adding an optional 10 metre cable (VTN-EXTEND). The antenna has a self-adhesive surface which can be fixed to any window which has a view of the sky. The standard antenna is also rated for external use and so can be externally mounted on a roof, window or wall etc. As an alternative to POE, TIMENET Pro can be powered by an optional 12V DC supply (VPSU-12V-U).
