PresenTense Time Client - Advantages at a glance
* Accurate and reliable ( microsecond accuracy, true system service )
* Easy to install and maintain ( most users up and running in less than a minute )
* Versatile (able to use almost any reference time source including GPS and internet time servers )
* Low total cost of ownership ( support included meaning no yearly support fees )
* Free Run Support to keep your clock correct even when a time server is not available
* DHCP Enabled to allow for centralized configuration - even if you have static IP addresses
* e-mail and Syslog alarm action to facilitate centralized early warning of error conditions
* Remote Installation, Pre-Configured Windows Installer (.msi) and Group Policy or stand-alone executable
Features include:
* Multi Protocol Support
Time sources of all major protocol families are supported :
1. SNTP/NTP (RFC 2030)
2. Free Plug-In ( NTP 3 & 4 ) (RFC 1305)
3. Network Time UDP (RFC 868)
* Free Run Support
PresenTense automatically compensates for local system clock drift when operating in NTP or SNTP mode. This ensures maximum clock accuracy when free-running in the event of loss of connectivity to the reference time source.
The National Emergency Number Association (NENA) identifies time keeping requirements for Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP) such as 911 call centers. These requirements include continuous accuracy of 100 milliseconds to UTC when locked to the reference time source and a maximum clock drift or error accumulation of one second per day when the system must "free run".
* Redundancy
An automatic fail-over mechanism switches the time client to a redundant time server if the primary time server becomes unavailable.
* e-mail and SysLog Alarm Action
PresenTense Time Client can notify you by email if an error occurs. All types of SMTP AUTH are supported. SysLog, local file and network based server are supported.
* Lightweight Design
The RAM footprint of PresenTense Time Client is very small. This makes it unobtrusive and feature-rich. It operates with minimum impact on other applications.
* True System Service
PresenTense Time Client is a true system service and operates invisibly in the background no matter who (if anybody) is logged into the computer. Configuration changes are made via a user friendly graphical user interface.
* Highly Customizable
PresenTense Time Client features advanced configuration options, including the capability to evaluate the accuracy of server time stamps to within microseconds.
* Centralized Configuration via DHCP
PresenTense Time Clients can retrieve their configurations from a DHCP server. This will not have any effect on your network settings (IP address, lease time etc) as only the time client settings are retrieved. Even if you use static addressing on your network, you can still use DHCP to centrally configure PresenTense Time Client. All you need is a DHCP server. See Configure via DHCP for more information.
* Automatic configuration of Windows Time Service
Active Directory, Domain Controllers and Cluster servers require that the Windows Time Service is running but this blocks the operation of many time clients. PresenTense Time Client reconfigures Win32Time so that it is running but PresenTense Time Client is managing the time on your computer. Manual configuration is also optional for users who want more control.
* Security
Initial setup and later configuration via the user interface require administrator privileges. This minimizes tthe risk of tampering with system parameters by unauthorized users. The service is able to operate without the user interface being installed.
* Advanced Statistical Filters
Advanced statistical filters ensure that erroneous measurements are discarded, thus avoiding erratic system clock behavior.
* Remote Monitoring and Administration
PresenTense Time Clients may be administered by remote and monitored over the network to ensure accurate time keeping. Please check www.bytefusion.com for availability of monitoring software.
* Time Zone Specific Reference Clock Selection
PresenTense Time Client automatically selects the most suitable primary reference clock server, based on your time zone configuration and geographic location.
