Prepare NAS - Serial ATA network platform
Some clients need special configuration to ensure time synchronization throughout
the NewsBrowse system. Since your single-channel encoder Adrienne Absolute Time
Server is on the Production Network, only NetTime clients on the Production
Network have access. You must provide access for the external (Client Network)
NetTime clients as well. To do this, you configure a NetTime client machine (in this
case, the NewsBrowse server) which has access to both Production and Client
Networks to rebroadcast the time sync to external networks. NetTime clients on
external networks can then look to the NewsBrowse server as their NetTime server.
To prepare a NetTime client, do the following:
1. Open the following folder:
C:\Time Sync Software\Client
2. Open NetTime-2b6.exe and click Yes to install. Choose the defaults, including
configure as service .
3. Set Net Time options as follows:
a. Enter the host name for the primary and secondary server according to the
following table:
b. Select the RFC868(TCP) protocol for both servers
c. For the NewsBrowse server, select Allow other computers to sync to this
computer .
d. Leave other fields at the defaults and click Okay .
4. The PC clock should automatically update to match the server. If not, check
network connectivity and review install steps. All machines must be set for the
same time zone to function properly.
Prepare NAS - Serial ATA network platform
To configure the Serial ATA network (a.k.a. Ciprico 1700 or DiMedia) NAS for the
NewsBrowse networks, check the following configurations and modify settings as
necessary.
NOTE: Procure IP addresses from the local network administrator prior to
configuring the NAS unit. Access to configuration pages is dependent upon valid
IP addresses.
1. From any Production network machine, enable the network to recognize the NAS
by adding an IP address within the subnet range of 192.168.50.0.
2. For the first NAS machine (nb-nas-1), open the NAS configuration software in
Internet Explorer by entering the following in the browser address bar:
NetTime Client Primary Server Secondary Server
A Production Network Client First Encoder Second Encoder
NewsBrowse server First Encoder Second Encoder
