IMS – LANTIME M3000
Versatile and Modular Time and Frequency Synchronisation Platform
The new LANTIME M3000 is a field-upgradeable and extremely flexible system that covers your Synchronisation needs – today and in the future.
The M3000 chassis has four power supply slots, two clock module slots, a seamless switchover card slot, a CPU slot and ten slots for additional input and output modules. Adding a second clock module and the required RSC switch module will turn the M3000 into a fully redundant solution. Up to four power supplies can be installed, offering protection against the failure of one or more power sources or power supply failures. Both wide range AC and a 20-60 V DC power supply model can be mixed and matched as required.
The possibility to add input and output modules as well as specialized communication cards for NTP and PTP/IEEE1588 network Synchronisation and remote management ensures that a LANTIME M3000 will fulfil all your Synchronisation requirements and the scalability and flexibility of the IMS platform concept enables it to cope with the changing demands of your critical applications.

| Further Information | High-End NTP Network Time Server for your Network
With up to 25,000 NTP requests per second (depending on the installed CPU module), the system is able to provide time for hundreds and thousands of NTP clients. The LANTIME CPU module supports the following protocols: NTP / SNTP (v2, v3, v4), PRP (IEC 62439-3), HTTP (S), SSH, Telnet, SNMP (v1, v2, v3), FTP, SFTP, DHCP/DHCPv6. For each system, up to 99 logical network interfaces are available (99 IPv4 and 99 IPv6 addresses). Enterprise-grade features such as IPv6/Dual Stack support, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support, LACP/high availability bonding as well as DSCP and IEEE802.1p QoS/CoS traffic prioritization ensure that this product can be installed and operated in almost every critical environment, from a financial data centre to a electrical substation or NGN telecommunication network to digital broadcasting infrastructure or air traffic control systems. Scalable Synchronisation Solution All modules are hot-pluggable and can be configured via a central web interface or CLI. An almost endless number of combinations of input and output modules handles almost any Synchronisation task. The field-upgradeable and therefore highly scalable and flexible IMS concept will grow with your demands and adjusts to any future changes of your Synchronisation requirements. New technologies can be easily integrated into your existing devices as soon as a corresponding module is available. Flexible Synchronisation References: IMS-MRI: Standard reference input cards supporting a number of different input signals like 1PPS, 10MHz, IRIG DCLS, IRIG AM IMS-ESI: Extended reference inputs for Synchronisation sources like E1/T1 framed and unframed signals Both of these slot types can alternatively accept I/O cards and therefore can be used to add output modules or network interfaces. Front Panel The front panel of the LANTIME M3000 integrates an LC-Display with 4x16 characters and the LANTIME menu panel with 4 directional and 4 functional buttons. The LCD menu is extremely useful for an easy and fast local configuration of key parameters and for a quick check of the status of the system without the need of an additional external device. The full set of configuration options can be controlled and reviewed using the powerful graphical web interface or the extensive scriptable command line interface. Due to the hot-plug capabilities of the IMS platform it is possible to add additional modules or replace modules with zero downtime and no negative impact on the system and its modules. An optional Active Cooling Module (ACM) adds redundant fans to the system if airflow cannot be guaranteed due to blocked top/bottom cover or in high temperature environments. Two LED indicators on the front panel show the state of the Active Cooling Modules (Fan 1 and Fan 2). Of course the fan state is also accessible via the web interface, CLI and SNMP. ACM and power supply failures and a large number of additional Synchronisation related alarms can be communicated using several different protocols, for example mail/SMTP messages, SNMP traps, SYSLOG messages, or alarm relay cards. |
