Symmetricom Time Server Manual Do Utilizador

3

Symmetricom’s TimeVault is an advanced time server that provides trusted, accurate time 
from multiple time sources over an Ethernet connection to multiple client sites.  One of 
TimeVault’s great strengths is its remote control capability.   You can configure 
parameters through command line input using Telnet from a distant terminal, or use 
TimeVault’s web interface to program the unit over the Internet, from anywhere in the 
world.

TimeVault reports time with extreme accuracy, using GPS as a synchronization source.  
Optimization for time functionality means that accurate position readouts are not 
available.

The main feature of TimeVault’s web interface is its ability to perform setup and control 
operations from a remote location, using the Internet or TCP/IP LAN.  The protocol used 
is either Telnet or HTTP.  Telnet is a standard Internet communications program that is 
bundled with Windows 95/98/NT and connects to TimeVault through its NET Port.  
HTTP access is provided via any standard Web Browser (such as Microsoft’s Internet 
Explorer or Netscape’s Navigator/Communicator).  

You can also disable remote control capability and secure TimeVault from a remote 
location, (see “F100 LOCK – Remote Lockout” on page 4-76).  However, once you have 
issued this command, you can not remotely unlock the unit.  You can only unlock the unit 
from the keypad.  

To use the web interface, launch any Java-capable and frames-compatible web browser 
such as Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE version 3.0 or later, available at 
www.microsoft.com), Netscape Navigator (version 3.0 or later) or Netscape 
Communicator (any version; Netscape browsers are available at www.netscape.com).
