  • How To Configure a Windows Based Network Time Server - In modern computer networks, computer time synchronization is of critical importance. Many transaction-processing operations require accurate synchronisation of client and server in order to maintain a coherent processing order.
  • What My Satellite GPS Can Do That Your Road Atlas Can't - Television is not the only "cool" thing using satellites these days. For anyone who likes to travel or wander, the GPS satellite navigation systems that have been on the market for a few years are handy on-the-road companions. Some automotive manufacturers offer GPS in select car models however GPS can also be purchased after market and can be operated outside of the car as well.
  • Network Time Synchronisation: The Importance of an Accurate Time Server - Each PC has an integral real-time clock that maintains internal system time. PC clocks have low-cost crystal oscillators that are notoriously prone to drift. With time each computer in an organisation drifts at different rates. After a relatively short period of time, there can be large differences between the system times of each computer on the network. Unsynchronised computer time can lead to many problems. This article discusses the importance of network time synchronisation and of having an accurate network time server resource in an organisation. Computer Time Computer system time is maintained by low-cost real-time clock and crystal oscillator components. Crystal oscillators are manufactured with relatively low tolerance; each one oscillates at a slightly different rate. Additionally, crystals change frequency slightly with temperature variance. This all has the effect that computers are notoriously poor at maintaining an accurate time.
  • GPS Devices and Your Job - Commuters braving rush hour know all too well how traffic jams can quickly tack on extra drive time.
  • NTP Server Installation - NTP or Network Time Protocol servers are network devices that are designed to distribute accurate time to network time clients and other network infrastructure.
  • How to use the GPS Clock - The Global positioning System (GPS) is a US military system primarily intended for global navigation. The system provides highly accurate positioning information for navigation. The GPS system consists of a constellation of 24 orbiting satellites. Each satellite has an on-board atomic clock, which is ideal for providing a highly accurate timing reference. This article discusses how the GPS clock can be used to provide an accurate timing reference for computers and computer networks. The GPS system is often used for computer timing applications, such as NTP time servers and accurate timing references. GPS Time GPS time is continuously broadcast by the GPS system.
  • How to Use Authentication When Synchronising to a NTP Server - Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to advertise time to network time clients on an IP network. NTP is a UDP based protocol that is used to synchronise system time on network devices. This article describes how to utilise NTP authentication to authenticate a time reference when synchronising network time clients to a NTP server. NTP Server Authentication NTP is used to provide an accurate time reference for time critical processes.
  • Setting up a Windows Time Server - The latest Windows operating systems from Microsoft have a time synchronization service installed by default called 'Windows Time'. The time service allows a Windows network to provide time synchronization of all machines within a domain. This article introduces how to set up the Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 operating systems to operate as a NTP time server. The article describes how to modify registry entries to configure the Windows Time Service.
  • GPS Device Equals the Perfect Road Trip - One summer a friend told me to get lost - so I did. I piled a few friends into my car and drove aimlessly until horses outnumbered people and gas stations became as frequent as views of the Loch Ness monster. As we watched the gas meter sink dangerously below empty, we realized we were hopelessly lost - and in trouble. Road trips make the perfect occasion to get out and see the country; places you've never been before, learn a few things and maybe visit an old friend or two. GPS devices make the perfect traveling companions on a road trip - nothing's worse than getting lost without gas, food or lodgings anywhere in sight.
  • How To Decode The MSF-60 Radio Time Signal - The MSF-60 atomic clock synchronised radio time transmission is utilised by many NTP Time Server and PC computer systems to provide accurate synchronisation of time critical applications. This article describes how the MSF-60 time signal is decoded by NTP Time Server and computer systems to provide an accurate timing reference. The MSF-60 Time Transmitter The MSF-60 time signal is a long-wave radio time signal broadcast from Rugby, Warwickshire, England.
  • Worlds First GPS Tracking System is Nearly Two Thousand Years Old - GPS tracking from (global positioning satellites) is becoming almost standard equipment on cars today. The penchant to "know" may be what is driving the consumer more than the fear of getting lost. Add to that the lack of time in today's fast paced society, who has got time to sit down and read a map? In addition to tracking devices Detroit is equipping autos with gauges and devices that can read such things as the air pressure in the tires or the condition of your motor oil. Almost every system in the car is now monitored by computers and the information is fed back to the driver in one form or another including voice messages.
  • What is GPS Navigation - Global Positioning System (GPS) is a widely known system that uses satellite signals to trace the location and position of vehicles on earth. Formerly developed by the US Department of Defense, today it is a common feature in mobile devices and cars, which include a GPS navigation system to receive data that maps blocks of a city.
  • How To Maintain Accurate Time On Your PC - PC's have internal real time clocks designed to maintain system time. The internal clocks rely on relatively low-cost crystal oscillators, which are notoriously inaccurate. In many cases PC system time can drift by several minutes each day. This article describes various methods of maintaining a highly accurate time on your PC. It describes how to utilise Internet time references, radio and GPS clocks and dedicated NTP server systems. Internet Time References The Internet utilises the Network Time Protocol to distribute accurate time information to network time clients. NTP has been an important part of the Internet for over 25 years. The protocol was born through the need to provide synchronisation of time critical processes across the Internet. Most modern operating systems, including Windows XP, 2003 and LINUX have the ability to synchronise time with a NTP Server.
  • Configuring Windows as a NTP Server - The Windows operating systems from Windows 2000 onwards has an in-built time synchronisation service - 'Windows Time'. The Windows Time service facilitates a Windows network to provide synchronisation of all machines within a domain. This article describes how to configure the Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 time service as a NTP server. It shows how to manipulate registry entries to configure the Windows Time Service. Before modifying registry entries it is good practice to backup the Windows registry. This allows the registry to be restored in the event of problems. Windows 2000 Configuration Windows 2000 has an integrated time synchronisation service, installed by default, which can synchronise to a NTP Server. Indeed, by manipulating registry settings, the service can act as both an SNTP client and SNTP server to synchronise other network clients.
  • Synchronised Digital Clock Systems - Synchronised digital clocks allow a number of individual time clock displays to show identical accurate time. Individual stand-alone digital clocks each drift at different rates eventually all display differing times. This article discusses the methods utilised to achieve synchronised digital clock time displays throughout an organisation.
  • How to Configure a Linux NTP Server - Network Time Protocol (NTP) provides algorithms and defines messages for the synchronisation of time clients to an accurate time reference. This article discusses how to configure a Linux NTP Time Server to synchronise time with an Internet based public NTP Server. NTP server systems fall into two categories: primary reference servers and secondary reference servers. Primary reference servers use an external timing reference to provide time, such as GPS or radio clocks.
  • NTP Server Systems - The Network Time Protocol - The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is utilised by NTP Server systems to distribute accurate time information to network time clients. The NTP protocol is widely used throughout the Internet to provide synchronisation of computers and processes. This article discusses how NTP server systems utilise the Network Time Protocol to provide networks with an accurate reference of time.
