MM3 S is a stratum-1 standalone timeserver, which provides a high-accuracy reference time to IP networks via the Network Time Protocol (NTP).
The MM3 S is assembled in a modular case, which includes, GPS receiver, a single board computer, and a power supply unit. Configurable settings can be modified via menus on the 2 row x 40-character LC display with backlight and the four buttons in the front panel.
The single board computer runs a Linux Operating System, which is loaded, from flash disk into RAM at power-up. In addition to NTP, the Linux operating system supports other network services like SSH, HTTP (S), SNMP. The system supports IPv4 and IPv6 which allows remote configuration or monitoring across the network, e.g. using a common web browser. Remote access from the network can also be disabled for security reasons.
Changes in the GPS receiver status, error conditions, and other events generated error messages can be logged on either the local Linux system, or on another syslog server in the network. Additionally, those messages can be sent to a management console by SNMP traps, automatic emails, by Windows Popup-Messages or optional remote NTP displays.
If it is necessary to provide redundancy against hardware failure then it's also possible to install several MM3 S timeservers in the same network. Other Options include;
