Administrative functions

In the first section there are several functions which may be used by the

administrator. The button “Reboot LANTIME” is restarting the system, the built-in

reference clock is not affected by this, only the included computer system is rebooted,

which may take up to 30 seconds.

With “Manual configuration“ you are able to change the main configuration by

editing the configuration file by hand. After editing, press the “Save file” button to

preserve your changes, afterwards you are asked if your changes should be activated

by reloading the configuration (this results in reloading several subsystems like

NTPD, HTTPD etc.).

The function “Send test notification“ is generating a test alarm message and sends it

using all configured notify possibilities (e-mail, WMail, SNMP-Traps, wall mount

display).

You can use the function “Save NTP drift file“ to copy the file /etc/ntp.drift to the

internal flash disc of your LANTIME. NTP is using this file to have the parameters

for compensation of the incorrectness of the system clock available directly after a

restart. This results in a faster synchronisation process of the NTPD subsystem after a

system restart. You should use this function only, if the NTPD has been synchronized

to the internal reference clock for more than one day. This is done here at Meinberg

directly before shipping the LANTIME unit to our customers, so you do not need to

use this function during normal operation. It may be applicable after a software

update.

The function “Reset to factory defaults“ is setting all configuration parameters back

to default values. The regular file /mnt/flash/global_configuration will be replaced

with the file /mnt/flash/factory.conf, but first a copy of the configuration is saved

under /mnt/flash/global_configuration.old for backup reasons. The default password

“timeserver” is replacing the actual password, too. After using this function, all

certificates should be recreated because of the change of the unit’s hostname.
