Prepare for core configuration stages
This verifies that the Adrienne card is properly installed and the house timecode is
valid.
2. Run C:\Load Service.bat and in Task Manager, verify that NtPciClk.exe is running.
3. Restart the encoder and verify that NtPCiClk.exe restarted automatically.
4. Open C:\ATCS10.exe and click Yes to install.
5. Restart the encoder and verify that the Absolute Time Server icon appears in the
system tray.
6. The encoder is now functioning as the primary Adrienne Absolute Time Server.
Repeat this procedure on a second single-channel encoder, to make it the secondary
Adrienne Absolute Time Server.
Prepare NetTime clients
Before you use a PC to run the NewsBrowse client application, it must be prepared as
a NetTime client. If you are following the basic configuration path, you must at a
minimum prepare the NewsBrowse server as a NetTime client, as it is temporarily
used as a NewsBrowse client in
“Set up NewsBrowse client for configuration stage
tests” on page 71 . Then, at the end of the basic configuration path, you can prepare
NetTime on your NewsBrowse client PCs. You can also optionally prepare encoders
and other NewsBrowse machines as NetTime clients, in case you want to use them to
run the NewsBrowse application for test purposes or to keep the PC clock in sync with
the rest of the system for the log files.
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.
You can optionally also configure the MDI server to rebroadcast the time sync, so it
can back up the NewsBrowse server should there be a problem.
NOTE: Do not install NetTime client on a Profile XP system.
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
