The NTP option (+T) is now available for the 5600MSC. It is a factory installed option. The user can assign an IP address to the 5600MSC from the front panel. The 5600MSC is connected to the house computer network via the RJ45 Ethernet port and a network hub. Two modes of operation are supported. Broadcast Mode is where the 5600MSC broadcasts time information; Server Mode is where the 5600MSC responds to time requests from a computer. Windows XP and other operating systems, already include software which will interface with the 5600MSC. Other details regarding the use of NTP, may be found at www.ntp.org. Note that your 5600MSC must be referenced to a high level time standard such as GPS or a modem time standard. If no reliable time standard is available, the NTP option will decline to provide time information.
