Masterclock installation checklists
Masterclock installation prepared: 5 practical checklists for antenna placement, PoE budget, network configuration, holdover validation and IRIG cabling. Walk through before ordering to avoid surprises — call Daylight bv for site-specific advice.
Placing the GNSS antenna
The antenna is the weakest link in any time-synchronisation deployment. 7 steps before ordering that prevent disappointment.
Calculating the PoE budget for NTP clocks
Too little PoE power means clocks that refuse to start. Calculating in advance prevents a switch replacement mid-project.
Network configuration for the NTP server
VLAN, DHCP, firewall — four checks to guarantee first-time-right operation.
Running a holdover test
How long does your time server hold the time without GNSS? Test it, before the auditor asks.
IRIG-B / SMPTE Time Code cabling
Time code is more sensitive to cable quality than NTP. 6 rules for stable transmission.
