PresenTense Time Client is a network time client for Windows NT / 2000 / XP / 2003 / 2008 / Vista. It synchronizes
your PC system clock to a network time server so that you always have the correct time. Features include :
|
Time sources of all major protocol families are supported
:
|
|
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".
|
|
An automatic fail-over mechanism switches the time client
to a redundant time server if the primary time server becomes unavailable.
|
| · |
Email and SysLog Alarm Action
|
|
PresenTense Time Client can notify you by email if an
error occurs. All types of SMTP AUTH are supported. SysLog, local file and network based server are supported.
|
|
The RAM footprint of PresenTense Time Client is very
small. This makes it unobtrusive and
|
|
versatile. It operates with minimum impact on other
applications.
|
|
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.
|
|
PresenTense Time Client features advanced configuration
options, including the ability to evaluate the accuracy of server
|
|
time stamps to within microseconds.
|
| · |
Centralized Configuration via DHCP
|
|
PresenTense Time Clients can retrieve their
configurations from a DHCP server. This will not have any effect on your network settings (IP address, lease time etc) as only the
time client settings are retrieved. Even if you use static addressing on your network, you can still use DHCP to centrally configure
PresenTense Time Client. All you need is a DHCP server. See Configure via DHCP for more
information.

Automatic configuration of Windows Time
Service
|
|
Active Directory, Domain Controllers and Cluster servers
require that the Windows Time Service is running but this blocks the operation of many time clients. PresenTense Time Client
reconfigures Win32Time so that it is running but PresenTense Time Client is managing the time on your computer. Manual configuration
is also optional for users who want more control.
|
|
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

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.
|
| · |
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.
