Appendix A: Ethernet Timekeeping

NIST Internet Time Servers

Using the AllSync IQ Master as a Time Server

The AllSync IQ Master with Ethernet option can be used as a time server supporting the SNTP and Daytime protocols and can

be used to synchronize computers or other devices via the Ethernet.
To set up your computer or other device to synchronize to the AllSync IQ, simply enter the IP address of the AllSync IQ master

as the time server address for the computer or device.
In Windows XP:
1. Right-click your clock and then click

Adjust Date/Time.

2. Click the

Internet Time tab. Click the Server down arrow, and then enter the IP address of the AllSync IQ master you wish

to synchronize this computer to (example: 192.168.1.200).
3. Click

Update Now. Windows XP will connect to the AllSync IQ master and set the computer's clock.

In Windows Vista/Windows 7:
1. Right-click your clock and then click

Adjust Date/Time.

2. Click the

Internet Time tab, and then click Change Settings.

3. Click

Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server, enter the IP address of the AllSync IQ master you wish to

synchronize this computer to (example: 192.168.1.200), and then click OK.

Important Notes:

• Setting up your computer to synchronize to the AllSync IQ master via Ethernet does not account for time zone &

Daylight Saving Time settings, which must be properly set on the computer (they are not transferred via Ethernet).
• The computer or other device being synchronized to the AllSync IQ master must be on the same network as the

AllSync IQ master, or have access to it through a firewall (port 123 open for SNTP and port 13 open for Daytime Protocol).
• If your computer is on a domain, it is set up to get the time from the domain controller and you will not be able to

perform the above tasks. Domain controllers using the Windows Time Service can be set up by your network administrator

to synchronize directly to time servers on the Internet or to the AllSync IQ master. Contact American Time Technical

Support at 800-328-8996 with any questions.

Tip: Choose the time server closest to you.

of each server.
