Designed for professional networks, it provides reliable, internet-independent time synchronization with easy setup, low power consumption, and flexible installation options including rack mounts. Ideal for IT managers seeking precise, uninterrupted timekeeping across all devices. ## Description The TimeMachines NTP Network Time Server is a GPS-based NTP server device that supplies accurate time for all computers and time-keeping devices on your network. By have a local time server on the network, (S)NTP time is provided without requiring systems to go to the Internet to get time. The TM1000A system uses an active GPS antenna to maintain the current time as broadcast by United States’ GPS satellites. With this device installed on your local network, there is no longer the worry that if the Internet connection goes down, time synchronization is lost across the network. The unit is compact and can be placed anywhere within the network layout, even using our new time server rack mounts. The built in high sensitivity GPS receiver is able to lock multiple satellites from outdoors and some window locations, eliminating the requirement that an outdoor antenna be installed. Review: Great product! - As another reviewer noted, very easy to use. The folks who designed it thought it through. A decade ago, I managed a few computers for a small non-profit group and had some computer clocks 6-8 hours off. Back then not so easy to fix. Today, with Win XP, Vista or 7, Windows has an Internet Time option. Which is great if you are connected to the Internet when the update is scheduled. If not, no update. The TM1000A performs the same function, on a local basis. No Internet needed. Simple to set up. Place the antenna near a window, and the base unit near your computer. Plug in power. The local network connection can have several forms, depending on your particular configuration. (the manual, download from css-timemachines.com has far more info) The easiest is just a crossover cable (desertcart has several) between the computer and the TM1000A. Point your browser to 192.168.1.15 to connect, make any needed changes and you are ready to go. If your Internet is via USB modem (cable or DSL) you are done. Then, right click on the time in the lower right corner of the diplay, click on "Adjust Date/Time" select the Internet Time tab. In the Server field, enter 192.168.1.15 (if you didn't change it) and Update Now. In a few seconds, you should see a success message. Without any external connection. The unit will not work with Streets and Trips, there are other programs that will display satellite data, and can help with antenna placement. The 1000A can output the GPS 1 pulse per second for calibrating lab equipment. It has a wall power module, uses about 5 watts, so will cost about 10 cents a week to run, depending on your power company. It takes about 2 minutes to get initial "lock" on the satellites. Review: Cost-effective, turn-key time syncing solution! - This thing is exactly what I was looking for in an NTP appliance. Easy setup, great compatibility, incredible accuracy, small footprint, and appliance level of reliability. We attached the magnetic antenna to the metal frame of one of our skylights, so it has a direct line of sight toward the South. So far, we have not had any issues, and W32time, SNTP, and NTP (unicast) clients of all flavors work just fine using standard configurations. I recommend this product to anyone who wants a cost-effective, turn-key time syncing solution! ## Features - NTP Network Time Server with GPS - Stratum 1 Time Source - Includes GPS Patch Antenna and Power Supply ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002RC3Q4Q | | AntennaDescription | Satellite | | Best Sellers Rank | #325 in GPS Antennas | | Brand | TimeMachines | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (48) | | Item Weight | 1.6 Pounds | | Manufacturer | TimeMachines | | Number of Channels | 1 | | UPC | 837654709085 | | Warranty Description | All Time Machine products carry a one year warranty that covers manufacturing defects on the hardware and software.

A script could be setup somewhere that is periodically checking time and looking at the return value of the lookup. If the TM1000A loses its GPS signal, it will return several error flags and the Stratum level will change from 1 to 15. From that return value you could generate a notification.The unit supports configuration through a web page interface. A quick login can tell you if its running (can you log in) and the web page displays the GPS lock status and signal strengths of the top 3 sats. There is an internal HW watchdog on the unit and if the software stops servicing the watchdog, it reboots itself. As long as the GPS signal strength, based on antenna location, is good, these units are very reliable. **Q: what is the oscillator and accuracy if the signal from GPS is interrupted?** A: This product doesn't serve time if GPS lock is lost. Our TM2000A product does. Specifics of its capabilities can be found on the manufacturers website. **Q: How long is the antenna/receiver cable? What type of connector? Server is in the middle of the building, doubt GPS penetrates well enough.** A: Cable: RG174, 5m length, SMA male. Antenna is magnetic. Find a phone with GPS, if the GPS on the phone works there is a good chance the antenna will. It only has to be connected to the network as long as the clients can query the device it does not matter where it is located. Manual can be downloaded at http://www.css-design.com/downloads/TM1000A_Manual.pdf **Q: Does this support ntp authentication?** A: Not that I am aware of... I view this unit as an 'in-house' time reference, so why would authentication be necessary when it is totally under your control? The processor is weak and is not designed to handle large (internet size) traffic. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product! *by T***D on October 24, 2011* As another reviewer noted, very easy to use.

Even-tough our office is in located high up a tall building and the GPS antenna was installed directly in very wide and tall windows with direct unobstructed view of the sky, the time module is almost always unable to lock on satellite to provide the current time despite being seemingly able to receive signal from 2 to 4 satellite most of the time. We tried to contact support thinking it was a defect with something, but they were quick to tell us there's nothing they can do and it is working as it should. We unfortunately had to cut our losses and removed it from our network as it was causing more problems than it solved and we reverted to using one of our offline server as our NTP server since giving better result. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/75654971-timemachines-ntp-network-time-server-tm1000a](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/75654971-timemachines-ntp-network-time-server-tm1000a) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
