3 Global Information LANTIME M300/GPS

LANTIME stands for Local Area Network Timeserver. The LANTIME provides an absolute and highly precise
time reference in a TCP/IP network (stratum 1 server). The time is made available to all NTP clients by NTP
protocol (Network Time Protocol) and allows a simple integration of an absolute time reference into an existing
network.
The individual LANTIME variants differ mainly in the reference time used: An external radio clock, a built-in
GPS or GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) satellite receiver / GNS-UC (only GPS and Galileo), an
IRIG time code receiver or a long wave receiver (DCF77, MSF, WWVB), as well as external NTP servers or
a DCF77/GNSS combination as hybrid receiver can be used as reference time source. A GNSS synchronized
LANTIME consists of a GNSS satellite receiver, a single board computer with integrated network card and a
power supply.
A simplified LINUX operating system is implemented on the single-board computer, which is loaded from a
flash disk during the boot phase. All settings can be made using eight pushbuttons and a display. There is
also the possibility of remote configuration via the network using FTP or TELNET. An integrated web server
allows access to the LANTIME with any web browser.

Selection of the Antenna location

To receive enough satellites, select a location that allows an unobstructed view of the sky, otherwise there
may be problems with the synchronization of the system. There should be no obstacle in the line of sight
between the antenna and the satellites. In addition, the antenna must not be installed under high-voltage lines
or other electrical light or electric circuits.
Installation conditions for optimal operation:
• Free view from 8◦ above the horizon or

• Free view towards equator (if free view of 8◦ not possible) or
• Clear view between 55th southern and 55th northern latitude (satellite orbits).
If all of these views are restricted, complications can arise, because four
satellites have to be located to calculate a new position.

Make sure that the maximum cable length is kept when installing the antenna
cable between the antenna and receiver. This depends on the type of cable
used (H155, RG58) and its attenuation factor.

Distance AC = 410 m (RG58) - max. total length exceeded
Compensation the signal propagation time of the antenna cable

The connected receiver must compensate the signal propagation time of the antenna cable, therefore you need
to enter the length of the antenna cable in meters or the compensation time in nanoseconds into the settings
of your receiver.
Antenna Cable Length (m):

The receiving satellite signal is delayed by the used coaxial cable.
Cable Delay Usage

RG58U 5 ns/m for GPS180 and GNS-UC
H155 4 ns/m for GNS180 and GNM
By entering the cable length (from antenna to receiver), the system calculates the delay time and compen-
sates it automatically. The default value of 20 m is preconfigured at delivery.
For other coaxial cable types please use the option "by delay". The delay must be calculated by yourself
by using the information in the data sheet of the respective coaxial cable.
