The need for synchronised timing is obvious; it’s vital to the operation of your network. Without it, data errors occur and your log files become corrupted. But the reason you need your own time server is often overlooked.
Network administrators are naturally security conscious. They spend hours setting up access control policies and patching operating systems. Yet some of these same people trust the integrity of their network to a stranger; someone they’ve never met, who works for a company they’ve never heard of…
For home users, synchronising computers to a time server across the internet is ideal. If the time is incorrect, or the connection lost, no harm is done. But for your business, trusting an external time source is a risk. What happens if the time server fails or loses synchronisation? The only way to ensure stable timing is to have your own time server behind your firewall.
With rock-solid setup-and-forget operation, the MC1000 is the solution. Simply connect a GPS or radio antenna and the MC1000 synchronises your network using ntp / sntp protocols. For maximum redundancy, you can even add a second antenna.
With the MC1000 you get tried and tested design capable of synchronising tens of thousands of PCs. You also get a five year warranty with free lifetime technical support and software updates. And you get all this risk free…
We are so confident you’ll be pleased with your MC1000 time server we offer a money back guarantee. If you’re not happy, return the system within 30 days for a refund. Please visit our money back guarantee page for details.
The security of your network data is vital to your business. Don’t wait for problems. Please contact us for a quote today.
| Typical Performance Specifications: | |
| Synchronised internal timing accuracy: | Dependent on synchronisation source accuracy, time elapsed from first lock and cable lengths. Typically within 100nsec of synchronisation source after 30 mins. |
| Unsynchronised holdover (TCXO): | 3.6 msec/hour (86 msec/day) |
| Client synchronisation accuracy: | Dependent on network architecture, utilisation, delays and jitter. Clients typically synchronised to within 200 µsec to 2 msec of MC1000 on a local area network. |

To operate as a stratum 1 NTP time server, the MC1000 requires a connection from either one or two antenna systems. Listed below are the available antenna systems compatible with the MC1000 ntp server.
The GPS1000 is a high sensitivity GPS time receiver system suitable for internal or external use. Class leading availability enables system lock in urban canyon areas and provides PPS accuracy of 100 nsec.
The GPS4000 is a high accuracy GPS time receiver system incorporating anti-jam technology. System PPS accuracy of 50nsec combined with cable delay compensation provides highly accurate system timing precision.
The MSF1000 is an MSF radio time receiver suitable for internal or external use.
The DCF1000 is a DCF radio time signal receiver suitable for internal or external use.
The MC1000 ntp server is supplied with an IEC mains cable, a CAT5 patch cable, a USB cable, four 19" rack fixing screws and four rubber feet (for non-rack mounting applications). Unless you have requested not to receive them (greener option), the system is also supplied with a CD-ROM containing the MC1000 Utilities software & USB drivers and a hard copy of the MC1000 user manual (all available from the download section).
