Meinberg LANTIME is a standalone NTP time server appliance running a number of integrated services serving highly accurate time for client systems in the attached networks (IPv4 and IPv6). The LANTIME systems allow several different ways of monitoring and configuration, including web based configuration (HTTP/HTTPS), remote console based configuration (Telnet/SSH), and SNMP. This is accompanied with a wide range of alert mechanisms, allowing the administrator to receive alerts like "antenna faulty" or "ntpd lost sync" by e-mail (SMTP), SNMP traps or -- here Samba appears on the scene -- as a winpopup message. For those not sensible enough for a small decent email or popup message, a big network attached display is available as an accessory, displaying error messages in big red characters directly in your office (or, if you need some more motivation, in the office of your boss).

Our time servers are shipped with few parts of the Samba suite installed, following the old Unix system administrators rule to not run a service that is not needed. Samba allows us to offer your SMB compatible clients to request the time with a NET TIME command and enables the LANTIME to send alert popup messages directly to the admins desktop, if desired.

The Meinberg LANTIME systems rely on the power of open source software like Samba, GNU/Linux and NTP and we are very thankful for the very good work the open source community is doing every day.

You can find more information about Meinberg Radio Clocks and the LANTIME time server on our website. Or write mail to info@meinberg.de. We will gladly assist you.
