PresenTense Time Client is a network time client for Windows NT / 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista. It synchronizes your PC system clock to a network time server so that you always have the correct time. Features include :

· Multi Protocol Support  

Time sources of all major protocol families are supported :  

1. SNTP/NTP (RFC 2030)  
2. Free Plug-In ( NTP 3 & 4 ) (RFC 1305)  
3. Network Time UDP (RFC 868)  
4. Network Time TCP (RFC 868)  

· Free Run Support  

PresenTense automatically compensates for local system clock drift when operating in NTP or SNTP mode. This ensures maximum clock accuracy when free-running in the event of loss of connectivity to the reference time source. 
The National Emergency Number Association (NENA) identifies time keeping requirements for Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP) such as 911 call centers. These requirements include continuous accuracy of 100 milliseconds to UTC when locked to the reference time source and a maximum clock drift or error accumulation of one second per day when the system must "free run".  

· Redundancy  

An automatic fail-over mechanism switches the time client to a redundant time server if the primary time server becomes unavailable.  

· Email Alarm Action  

PresenTense can notify you by email if the time server becomes unavailable. All types of SMTP AUTH are supported.  

· Lightweight Design  

The RAM footprint of PresenTense Time Client is very small. This makes it unobtrusive and versatile. It operates with minimum impact on other applications. 

· True System Service  

PresenTense Time Client is a true system service and operates invisibly in the background no matter who (if anybody) is logged into the computer. Configuration changes are made via a user friendly graphical user interface.

· Highly Customizable  

PresenTense Time Client features advanced configuration options, including the ability to evaluate the accuracy of server time stamps to within milliseconds. 

· Security  

Initial setup and later configuration via the user interface require administrator privileges. This minimizes the risk of tampering with system parameters by unauthorized users. The service is able to operate without the user interface being installed. 

· Advanced Statistical Filters  

Advanced statistical filters ensure that erroneous measurements are discarded, thus avoiding erratic system clock behavior.  

· Remote Monitoring and Administration  

PresenTense Time Clients may be administered by remote and monitored over the network to ensure accurate time keeping. Please check www.bytefusion.com for availability of monitoring software.  

· Remote Installation via .msi or stand-alone executable  

PresenTense Time Clients may be remotely installed as either pre-configured or default install. See Remote Installation for further details. 

· Time Zone Specific Reference Clock Selection  

PresenTense Time Client automatically selects the most suitable primary reference clock server, based on your time zone configuration and geographic location.
