  • Computer Time Servers
    A time server is a computer server that obtains precise timing information from an external hardware clock and provides this information to clients across a computer network.
  • Installing a Radio Referenced NTP Server
    Many networks in organisations suffer from a lack of time synchronisation between servers, workstations and other network components. This can lead to problems processing time critical information and transactions. However, a solution has been available for many years in the form of NTP.
  • Using GPS to Synchronise Computer Systems
    This article describes how the GPS system can be used to provide an accurate time and frequency reference for NTP servers and computer network time synchronisation.
  • Maintaining Precise Time On Your Computer by Utilising NTP Servers
    This article describes how Internet or Intranet based NTP servers can be utilised to maintain accurate time on a computer system.
  • NTP Server Terminology Explained
    This article attempts to explain in simple language some of the terminology used in computer timing applications.
  • Network Time Synchronisation using the GPS System
    This article provides an overview of how the GPS system can be used for computer time synchronisation solutions and describes the equipment required to provide a GPS time reference.
  • Computer Time Synchronisation Using GPS
    This article discusses how the GPS system can be utilised by NTP server systems for precise network timing. It also describes the hardware required to utilise the GPS system for timing applications.
  • Accurate Computer Time Using an NTP Server
    This article discuses various methods of maintaining precise time on computer systems and describes how to use Internet NTP servers as accurate timing references.
  • Configuring An Authoritative Time Server On A Windows 2000 Server
    This article describes how to set up and configure an Authoritative Time Server in a Windows 2000 Server environment. It also discusses the hierarchical relationship at the heart of the service and provides some configuration hints and tips.
  • How To Set Up An Authoritative Time Server In A Windows 2003 Server based Active Directory Network
    This article describes the procedure to set up an Authoritative Time Server for a Windows 2003 Server based Active Directory Network. It also describes the hierarchical relationship of the time synchronisation authority. The article also presents some time synchronisation hints, tips and troubleshooting.
  • How to Configure a Stratum 1 GPS NTP Server
    This article describes how to utilise a low-cost GPS receiver in combination with the NTP software distribution to provide an accurate stratum 1 NTP server timing reference.
  • NTP Servers Simplified
    This article describes some of the features of NTP and attempts to simplify some of the terminology used.
  • Use the Radio Time Signal to Synchronise Time On Your Computer
    This article describes how the MSF-60 time signal can be decoded and used to synchronise computers and NTP time server systems.
  • Utilising GPS to Serve Accurate Computer Time
    This article presents an introduction to using the GPS system for computer timing applications. It describes the equipment that can be utilised to provide a precise time resource for computers and computer networks.
  • Configuring A Linux Box as a NTP Server
    This article discusses how to install and configure the NTP Server application on a Linux machine to synchronise time with an Internet based public NTP Server.
  • Time Server Atomic Clock Timing References
    This article describes available atomic clock timing references and their use in computer network time synchronisation and NTP time servers.
  • How To Synchronise Your PC's System Time
    This article describes various ways of keeping the time on your computer accurate. It also shows how to synchronise a computers system clock with a highly accurate reference clock.
  • NTP Time Server Security Solutions
    This article describes the security aspects of the NTP protocol and specifically using MD5 keys to authenticate a time server.
  • NTP Server Precision Oscillators
    Many NTP servers utilise a high precision backup frequency generator to maintain time in the event of signal loss. This article describes the various precision frequency generators used by NTP servers and the price-performance issues.
  • NTP Time Server Misuse and Abuse
    This article discusses some of the reported NTP time server abuse incidents and describes NTP configuration methods that can reduce such problems. Most incidents seem to have occurred due to manufacturer configuration issues rather than malicious intent.
