Russ,
We don't have an NTP server set up yet, so I'm interested in these
details. Where is this tk.cfg file located? And what other tips do you
have? (I know, I know, RTFM, but it's easier this way. :-))

Lets try again as things got chopped off the message i sent ...
Starting with I/A Series V8.8, up to three external NTP sources can be
configured to synchronize the MTK and also the Backup MTK. The NTP
source
for I/A or Foxboro Evo canââ¬â¢t be greater than stratum 2.
The key file to establish this is the tk.cfg file, that when configured
correctly looks like:
AW0001 NTP 192.168.16.1, 198.162.16.2,
AW0002 NTP 192.168.16.1, 198.162.16.2,
This file is generated by System Definition configuration.

Julian,
Some years ago I experimented with syncing some Win7 boxes to a NTP
server
(Tardis?) with varying degrees of success . I have not been at that
site
for about 5 years so I don't know successful it was.

Subject: [foxboro] Installing an NTP server
Hi all,
Does anyone have any experience installing a third-party NTP server
for an
IA AW? I want to install a standard NTP server, to keep my IA system
time
very close to actual local time, and use the NTP to also sync some PLC
times, network switch times and so on. IA system is Foxboro Evo, but
doesn't have a domain controller.
The Foxboro docs all talk about an internal PCI card for the AW,
generating a time strobe that's distributed to the IA stations, but
that
won't (I guess) let me sync up the third-party PLCs and switches.
Can I just change the time on the AW to look at the NTP server (ie
treat
it like any normal server)? It's the master timekeeper for the IA
install.
Thanks
