| ClockWatch Client/Server - for Network Time Sync
ClockWatch Server and Client are Beagle Software’s solution for small
and medium sized networks, and/or networks that opt for distributed, end
user control. Our software acts as a Windows time server, allowing network clients to use the built in w32time.exe service. ClockWatch Server is a dual functioning application that maintains time on
server and also services client requests for time. The server
communicates with external timeservers to maintain the correct time.
Features:
Screenshot |
- Integrated: Windows solution featuring ClockWatch clients requesting
time from the ClockWatch timeserver. Both Client and Server are easy to
install and configure.
- Multi-platform capable: ClockWatch Server can act as a timeserver for your
network and supports all of the major time sync protocols (SNTP, NIST, TIME,
DAYTIME) running on your Linux/Unix/Netware/Mac/IBM clients.
More info...
- Traceable: Both Client and Server
maintain logs showing every time change on the system.
The
Time Audit feature shows you the time sync status of your network at a
glance. Alarms alert you when clocks are off.
-
Secure:
Since clients don't need to talk to timeservers on
the Internet, Internet traffic is reduced and the integrity of
corporate firewalls is maintained.
Adding a GPS receiver
lets you avoid the Internet entirely. Both the ClockWatch 2000 Client and Server
applications can run as a
Windows service. This prevents regular users
from changing the settings.
- Clock
Locking feature
prevents unauthorized users from changing the date or the time on clients and
server.

- Expandable:
GPS,
radio and clock card
time base options are available.
- Scalable:One host server can handle from 1 to 1000 different clients.
- Dependable:
We've been selling Client/Server time sync solutions worldwide since 1998
More... ClockWatch Server was also Microsoft 'Certified for Windows XP'
by an independent test lab in 2004.

Overview: In this diagram, ClockWatch Server is servicing the time requests from
workstations running ClockWatch Client. ClockWatch Server also keeps the
computer it is running on set to the correct time by accessing the Atomic
Clock over the Internet, GPS or through a directly dialed connection.
Client/Server architecture and
ClockWatch...
Clients can act together or independently, setting their clocks either at a
scheduled time or day, on a periodic basis, or whenever the clock needs to
be set.
How it works...
ClockWatch Server can also handle time
requests from clients running Windows, Novell, UNIX, Linux and Mac O/Ss.

System requirements:
-
Internet Connection
(ClockWatch Server)
-
Uses a WinSock connection for
network communication.
-
Internet connection to NIST and
Daytime timeservers is made over TCP port address 13 - this is
commonly called the ‘Daytime’ port. NTP timeservers use port 123
while Time timeservers use port 37.
-
The local TCP port used for the
connection to a proxy server is user selectable.
-
ClockWatch can be configured to run
behind a proxy server, see
ClockWatch behind firewalls.
-
LAN Connection
(ClockWatch Clients)
-
ClockWatch Clients needs only a LAN
connection to timeserver.
-
ClockWatch Server and ClockWatch Client
normally use TCP port 1001 to communicate.
-
