The Series II Network Clock Firmware Update Utility is a Windows®-based application designed to be used in conjunction with the Series II Network (NTP - Network Time Protocol) Clocks.

The purpose of this utility is to enable the user [clock system administrator] to update the firmware of the Series II network clocks while in the field. This may be done while the clocks are attached to the Local Area Network (LAN) and in service. Each NTD clock contains a unique MAC address, and when properly configured for the network, a unique IP address on the network.

The operational program or firmware of each clock is stored in flash memory. This feature allows the clocks exiting firmware to be replaced with an updated version in the field to allow for product enhancements, as well as firmware "bug" corrections. This application approach is intended to give maximum flexibility and includes the capability of updating the firmware of the clocks while they are connected to the network. This feature reduces the cost associated with updating the firmware application once the unit is installed.

The password of the clock(s) must be known and entered before the firmware can be updated.

Firmware updates are posted and available for download from the support section our website.

Included is a search tool to discover network clocks on the network, a ping utility to determine if a clock is in the same subnet as the computer running this application, and a download tool to update one or multiple clocks.

For details regarding the features and use of this application, please refer to the corresponding sections of this help file.
