NTP Time Servers

Tempus LX CDMA Network Time Server
Our Full-Featured CDMA Time Server
Provides Accurate and Reliable Network Time Inside Your Firewall

Network Time Server
The Tempus LX is a Stratum 1 NTP Time Server that provides an accurate, reliable and secure source of network time inside your firewall.  This model uses CDMA as its time-synchronization source.  It includes a proprietary CDMA receiver which allows you to locate the antenna anywhere you can receive a cell phone signal.  This saves you the trouble and expense of installing a rooftop antenna which is a typical requirement for most other network time servers.
60-Day Money-Back Guarantee
  • Supports 200,000 network clients with <10 microsecond NTP timestamp accuracy.
  • CDMA synchronization allows you to locate antenna inside building.
  • User-friendly display & keypad with built-in help menus.
  • NTP, SNTP, MD5, SNMP, SSH, SCP, TIME, DAYTIME, TELNET, FTP, DHCP and more.
  • IPv4 and IPv6 compliant.
  • Superior reliability - an MTBF of 25 years based on demonstrated field data.
  • Options: Oscillator Upgrades, Alarm, Timecode, Pulse Rates, Sysplex, -48Vdc.
  • No cell phone subscription required.
Easy & Safe to Install
Most Stratum 1 NTP Time Servers require an antenna that must be installed on the roof of your building, with good sky visibility.  The Tempus LX eliminates this problem by synchronizing to signals broadcast from the CDMA mobile cellular/PCS telephone system.  You can install the antenna wherever the unit is located, even deep inside buildings, and still have an NTP server that is as stable and accurate as with GPS.  In addition, by installing the small cellular antenna safely within the confines of your building, the Tempus LX virtually eliminates any risk of damage to your equipment rack caused by lightning strikes.  Read about our other CDMA-synchronized NTP server.

Network Security Hardened
Extra care has been taken with the Tempus LX to "harden" it against network attacks.  There are only a small handful of settings that need to be made and they typically need to be set only once in the lifetime of the product.  Since this is a set-it-and-forget-it box we have eliminated all extraneous protocols/services in order to minimize exposure to security holes.  You can change critical settings via SSH or Telnet and monitor the alarm/status information by using SSH, Telnet, or SNMP.  Security-conscious users can disable any or all of the risky protocols such as Telnet, Time and Daytime or restrict access to SSH, Telnet and SNMP to specific hosts.

Oscillator Upgrade Options
Exclusive EndRun oscillator-control algorithms provide extended Stratum 1 holdover performance when the unit is not locked to the synchronization signal.  NTP Stratum 1 holdover periods are:

Oscillator Drift Rate If No CDMA Signal Stratum 1 Holdover Period
TCXO 10 milliseconds for 1st day 24 hours
OCXO 100 microseconds for 1st day 35 days
Rubidium 8 microseconds for 1st day 140 days

Your Satisfaction Is Guaranteed
The Tempus LX is backed by a full 60-Day Money-Back Guarantee, a 3-Year Parts and Labor Warranty, and free technical support and software upgrades for life.
