3 General Information: Introduction
3.3 Introduction
The DTS 4128.timeserver is a NTP Time Server for use in network environments. It
can be synchronized by DCF or GPS (e.g. from GNSS4500) and act as a NTP server
in a network.
In addition, it can be used as a master clock for NTP slave clocks, synchronized via
multicast with NTP and time zone table.
As a “main“ master clock the DTS 4128 can synchronize further master clocks or other
equipment by synthetic DCF.
The DTS 4128 can send e-mails as well as SNMP traps.
Via SNMP configuration and system status can be requested and the DTS 4128 can be
operated.
To maintain a redundant time source, two DTS 4128 can be linked by an optical link.
© MOBATIME 9 / 84 800847.08
3.4 Device types
Device descriptions:
The front plate always has DTS 4128.timeserver printed on it. The precise description
is made on the identification plate on the back.
© MOBATIME 10 / 84 800847.08
3.6 MOBA-NMS - Network Management System
MOBA-NMS is a software used for central management and inquiry of state and alarm
information. It supports DTS devices as well as all MOBATime analog and digital network
clocks and can handle a network with more than 1000 devices. This software provides
extensive functions for the configuration, installation, back-up / recovery etc. especially
for DTS devices.
True to the DTS concept, MOBA-NMS can be installed multiple times in one network.
With different user rights on the device and software level, the configuration abilities of
different users can be set as required.
For DTS devices, all communication is conducted over SNMP V3. The SFTP protocol is
used for broadcasting files.
© MOBATIME 11 / 84 800847.08
3.6.2 Device management
All MOBATime network devices are displayed in the so-called device view. Here, the
devices can be grouped according to user-defined criteria. For this, the individual devices
can simply be moved to the according groups and sorted using drag and drop. There is
no limit to the number of groups and sub-groups.
Besides the organizational advantages (easier locating, better
overview), a device group has the following advantages:
commands and device updates can be applied to the
whole group (including sub-groups).
Alarms and errors of included devices are displayed on
the group level.
Complete groups can be moved / sorted among
themselves.
The content of the device view can be saved and opened at a
later time. The created structure and breakdown into groups is
preserved.

6 Operation
6.1 General
Operation occurs via a terminal menu or SNMP. SNMP operation is explained in Chapter
“9 SNMP“. Operation with the terminal menu takes place either via Telnet, SSH, or via a
serial terminal. The serial terminal is particularly used for the first configuration. After a
connection has been set up, the login screen is displayed:
DTS4128 login:
To start the menu, dts must be logged in as user. The standard password is dts.
(Changing the password see Chapter “6.5.15 General Settings“).
Only one menu can be open at any time. The first menu started has priority. The menu
is automatically closed after 10 min. without operation, and any possible connection via
Telnet or SSH interrupted.
Backspace:
Backspace must be set to "delete“ with the serial terminal.
Local echo:
Some terminals (serial or Telnet) do not display the characters entered. It is, therefore,
necessary to switch on the "local echo" in the terminal.
© MOBATIME 16 / 84 800847.08
6.1.1 Serial connection
38400 Bauds, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
Windows 10, 11: e.g. with Putty
Linux: Minicom
Switch off Xon/Xoff and hardware handshake.
After establishing the serial connection, the menu can be initialized with ENTER.
When rebooting, the boot process will be displayed on the serial console.
Important: The serial connection should always be disconnected before switching off
the operating PC (exit terminal program or pull out the RS232).
6.1.2 Telnet
Windows 10, 11: e.g. with Putty
User: dts
Standard Passwort: dts
Linux: Start console and enter “telnet [IP-address]"
6.1.3 SSH
Windows 10, 11: z.B. mit Putty
© MOBATIME 17 / 84 800847.08
6.1.4 Menu structure
The current menu is always displayed in the menu title. The menu options show all
the selectable menu functions. Provided the menu item is not a further menu, the set
parameters are displayed. Error messages (e.g. invalid entries) or additional
information to the selected menu items are displayed in the response line. The input
line shows the current input values or options possible. The status line only appears,
when an information has to be displayed, e.g. "An alarm is active".
All entries must be completed with ENTER (Return) (e.g. also ESC).
The menu window can always be exited with Ctrl-C (incl. termination of the Telnet and
SSH connection).
The desired menu can be selected with the relevant number.

6.2 MOBA-NMS operation
For the configuration of DTS devices via GUI, MOBA-NMS (see chapter „3.6 MOBA-
NMS - Network Management System“) can be used. All configuration possibilities are
subordinated in different configuration pages (called „tabs“). These tabs are connected
to the terminal menu and designated accordingly. Example: The terminal menu
„Configuration Alarms“ can be found in MOBA-NMS under the tab „Alarms“.
Configuration example of a DTS 4128 timeserver:
configuration pages
(tabs)
For further details on the general MOBA-NMS operation, check the integrated online help
(menu „Help Show help“).
Important: In order for the communication between MOBA-NMS and the DTS
devices to work, SNMP must be activated! Set terminal menu
„Configuration SNMP SNMP Mode“ to „on“. SNMP is active by
default.

6.5.3 NTP slave clocks / time zone server
NTP slave clock line for operating slave clocks on the LAN (Ethernet). With this clock
line, a world time function can be realized.
1. Mode of clock line: 0 = off, 1 = Send NTP multicast, 2 = Send NTP Multicast and
Time zone table, 3 = Send Time zone table, 4 = Time zone on reqest, 5 (only for
maitenance) = Send an empty Time zone table and return to previous mode.
2. Multicast adress for NTP and time zone server: 239.192.54.x
Group address: x = 1..15 for MOBATIME devices, e.g. NCI, SEN 00.
3. Multicast port for Time zone server (enter an arbitrary value, empty is not allowed !
Value e.g.: 65530).
4. Poll-interval for NTP Multicast in 2^poll-values in seconds (range: 1 – 16).
E.g. poll-value = 2 interval: 22 = 4 sec., poll-value = 5 interval: 25 = 32 sec.
For redundant Multicast time servers see remark next page.
5. Packet time to Live (TTL) for NTP- and time-zone-Multicast-packets in hops.
(Number of Routers in a network to transfer the packets through; for simple network
without routing, enter value "1", for 1 Router enter "2").
6. Repeat time to send time zone table: 10 – 86400 sec
7. Delay time between the sending of the individual time zone entries (one entry per
Multicast packet) of the table: 1 – 60 sec.
8. Configuration of individual time zone entries. Displays menu “TIME ZONE TABLE“.
Important: Changes of multicast-address, pollinterval and TLL lead to a restart of the
NTP server.
Important: For the operation of a Multicast communication (NTP and Time Zone
Server) the configuration of a gateway is required (see chapter 6.5.16
Network). The gateway can be set manually or by using DHCP.
If there’s no gateway available, it’s possiible to set the own IP as gateway.
© MOBATIME 26 / 84 800847.08
Important: Redundant Multicast time server:
If in the same network two NTP server should send NTP with same
Multicast IP address (redundancy), then the first time server has to be
configured with a small pollinterval (e.g. 2 sec.) and second time
server with a large pollinterval (min. 100 x larger, e.g. 9 512 seconds).
As long as the first time server is sending NTP Multicast packets, the
packets from second time server are ignored. This configuration is
needed, to reach a defined situation for the end devices (the DTS with the
more frequently NTP send rate gets higher priority for time reception).

6.5.8 NTP server
NTP can run as server or combined as server/client. To run NTP as source (NTP as
client), in the menu ’2. Configuration’ ’2. Time handling’ ’1. Time source setting'
’1. Source type' choose NTP and set at least one server. If NTP server is
configured, but NTP is not indicated as time source, NTP only runs as backup time
source (redundancy) to the actual time source.
The exact behavior of NTP time sources is described in chapter "8.3 Time acceptance
from NTP".
Further two multicast or broadcast addresses can be configured.
99 Return

Configuration of the individual server/peer address is as follows:
ENTRY TIMESOURCE 1
1 Source 10.241.17.1
2 Minpoll 3
3 Maxpoll 5
4 Server/Peer server
5 Prefer no
6 Authentication key off
Notice: If a key number is entered at point 6, the entered key must also be added
to the trusted keys.
Notice: If NTP only runs as a backup (source DCF or GNSS), no NTP source
should be indicated as prefer!
Notice: Maxpoll should not be selected below 4 (16 sec), as otherwise, internal
trimmung may be inaccurate.
Maxpoll and Minpoll on automatic can lead to insufficient synchronization
accuracy. The specified accuracies were measured with Minpoll = 3 and
Maxpoll = 6.
The configuration server should be used whenever possible.

Maintenance' ’1. Update Software’ and press ENTER. The message "Update in
progress" appears and at the same time, “Please wait!>“ is shown in the command
line. All files are copied. The DTS 4128 is automatically restarted on completion of
the update.
The telnet or SSH session has to be restarted.
Caution: The update procedure (point 6) may take longer time depending on the
! type and number of images (<5 min) and must not be interrupted under
any circumstances. If interrupted, the software on the DTS 4128 will be
destroyed and it has to be returned to the manufacturer for repairing.
Important: Only for DTS 4128 V1 devices:
With this update procedure the whole configuration of the DTS is lost.
Therefore after the update the current IP address (set from DHCP) has to
be read again via a serial connection, before via FTP the earlier saved file
dts4128.conf/ dtsdevice.conf can be copied back (see procedure in
chapter 7.4).

Stratum normal, synchronized operation:
Stratum value of DTS is always one step higher then the actual NTP timeserver
Stratum in case of an error
As NTP RFC 1305 (www.ntp.org)
NTP authentication assures a correct time source and prevents manipulation of NTP
information. NTP data itself is, however, not encoded.
© MOBATIME 59 / 84 800847.08
8.8.1 NTP symmetric keys
A 32-bit key ID and a cryptographic 64/128-bit check sum of the packet is attached to
each NTP IP packet.
The following algorithms are used for this purpose:
Data Encryption Standard (DES)
(partly restricted in North America and no longer integrated into new NTP variants
(>V4.2))
Message Digest (MD5)
The description of the ntp.conf file can be accessed via the corresponding man-page,
or consulted at http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/authopt.html
The authentication mode is automatically activated when a key is used and the paths
for the keys have been correspondingly configured.
trustedkey defines all keys currently permitted
requestkey defines the key for the ntpq help tool.
controlkey defines the key for the ntpdc help tool.
The keys are located in the ntp.keys file defined with keys. This has the following
format:
1 M TestTest
2 M df2ab658
15 M I_see!
498 M NTPv4.98
The key ID is in the first column of the file, the format of the keys in the second defined
column, and the key itself in the third. There are four key formats, however, nowadays
only the MD5 is still used M. The letter M is no longer written for new NTP variants
(>V4.2) and is only necessary for backwards compatibility.
The signs ' ', '#', '\t', '\n' and '\0' are not used in the MD5 ASCII key! Key 0 is reserved
for special purposes and should therefore not be used here.
ntp.keys: man page for ntp.keys to be noted (check the internet)
© MOBATIME 60 / 84 800847.08
8.8.2 NTP Autokey
The validity of the time received to the NTP clients is assured by symmetric keys. For a
higher degree of certainty, exchanging the keys used regularly is, however, necessary
to obtain protection, e.g. from replay attacks (i.e. attacks in which recorded network
traffic is simply played back).
The autokey procedure was introduced as the exchange is very involved in a large
network. A combination of group keys and public keys enables all NTP clients to check
the validity of the time information which they receive from servers in their own autokey
group.
NTP Autokey is relatively complex in its use and studying the functionality is definitely
necessary beforehand.
Autokey is descrbied at http://www.cis.udel.edu/~mills/proto.html or on the NTP
homepage http://www.ntp.org.
Autokey is currently defined in an IETF draft.
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ntp-autokey-04.txt
The configuration of Autokey is explained in
http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/ConfiguringAutokey or in
http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-s-config-adv.htm#S-CONFIG-ADV-AUTH.
Both devices have a GPS receiver in redundant operation. Both devices are configured
for the redundant mode, but are basically equal and work out the master/slave role
among themselves. The slave is always synchronized to the master in operation. The
slave supervises the system time on the basis of its own GPS time and generates an
error message, should the time difference amount exceed the configurable value of n
milliseconds.

9 SNMP
9.1 General
The SNMP version V2c or V3 for Get, Put and Notification (Trap) is used.
A full SNMP agent is implemented on the DTS (MIBII, DTS4128).
For SNMP V2c, following standard Communities are used:
Read only : romobatime
Read/write: rwmobatime
Trap: trapmobatime
For SNMP V3, following standard User I Passwords are used:
dtsUser1: mobatime
dtsUser2: mobatime
dtsInfo: mobatime (not changeable, read only)
DtsUser1 and dtsUser2 have full read/write access on all objects. With SNMP V3 rules,
access can be reduced. Changes of the rules can only be modified over the DTS menu
but not via SNMP.
SNMP V3 agent supports user validation (authentication MD5) and encoding
(encryption DES).
MIBII values like sysDescr, sysContact, sysName, or sysLocation can only be modified
over the DTS menu but not via SNMP.
The following MIB definitions are used:
SNMPv2-SMI, SNMPv2-MIB, SNMPv2-CONF, SNMPv2-TC, SNMPv2-TM,
SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB, SNMP-MPD-MIB, SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB,
SNMP-TARGET-MIB, SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB, SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB,
RFC1213-MIB, IF-MIB, IP-MIB, IP-FORWARD-MIB, TCP-MIB, UDP-MIB,
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB, HOST-RESOURCES-TYPES, DISMAN-EVENT-MIB,
NOTIFICATION-LOG-MIB, UCD-SNMP-MIB, NET-SNMP-MIB, NET-SNMP-TC
SNMP V2c,V3:
DTS-COMMON (File: DTS-COMMON-MIB.TXT)
General DTS definition, always required
DTS4128 (DTS4128-MIB.TXT)
Device specific DTS definitions
SNMP V1:
DTS-COMMON (File: DTS-COMMON-MIBv1.TXT)
General DTS definition, always required
DTS4128 (DTS4128-MIBv1.TXT)
Device specific DTS definitions
The MIB files can be copied from the DST 4128 with FTP (For FTP use, see Chapter
“7.5 FTP Connection“):
DTS-MIB: /etc/snmp/mibs/
Standard MIBS: /usr/share/snmp/mibs/
© MOBATIME 63 / 84 800847.08
9.2 Device configuration with SNMP
If one or several variables are set with Put in a configuration group, the variable
dts4128????ConfigCmd must be set at the end to 1 in the corresponding group. The
values of the entire configuration group are assumed from the DTS with this command
(1=accept).
As long as the accept command has not been set, the changed variables can be restored
to the old values by setting the dts4128????ConfigCmd variable to 2 (2=undo, restore).
After sending the accept command, a dts4128ConfigChanged Notification is sent.
The definitions of the available variables can be taken from the MIB files.
Example:
Management-System DTS
Put dts4128FTPMode=1 Variable is set to 1 internally
Put dts4128NetServicesConfigCmd=1 Configuration group is assumed
Sends dts4128ConfigChanged Notification
with the new time dts4128NetConfigChangedTime
© MOBATIME 64 / 84 800847.08
9.3.3 Status changed [dts4128StatusChanged]
Sent out when the subagent detects a status change in the DTS application process.
The following variables are monitored for changes:
dts4128SysStatus, dts4128SysTimeSource, dts4128SysStratum,
dts4128SysMasterMode
This Notification is always sent out, as soon as SNMP is activated, and a destination
address is configured.
The Notification sent out contains the following data:
Field Type Size Description Example
dts4128SysStatus Unsigned Int 4 Bytes Contains the internal system 66309
status
dts4128SysOffset Integer 4 Bytes Actual time offset of the system -1523 -1.523ms
[us]
dts4128SysTimeSource Byte 1 Byte Actual time source 2
dts4128SysStratum Byte 1 Byte Actual system stratum level 1
dts4128SysMasterMode Byte 1 Byte Master/slave mode 1
The ConfigChangedTime variables show the time of the last change of the relevant
configuration group. The management system can decide on the basis of these time
values, which configurations need to be reloaded.

In countries where the DST switch date changes annually (e.g. Iran, Israel), the time zone has to be
defined manually in the user time zone table (entries 80 – 99).
Legend:
UTC: Universal Time Coordinate, equivalent to GMT
DST: Daylight Saving Time
DST Change: Daylight Saving Time changeover
Standard DST: Time change from Standard time (Winter time) to Summer time
DST Standard: Time change from Summer time to Standard time (Winter time)
Example:
2nd last Sun. Mar. (02:00) Switch over on the penultimate Sunday in March at 02.00 hours local time.
Important: The Time Zone Table is usually updated as needed. The current table is available for download under
the following address: www.mobatime.com Customer Area Customer Support Support
Resources Time Zone Table. In case your device is equipped with a newer version than shown in
this manual, the current time zone settings should be checked.
Important: The file names mbsn.tbl and usersn.tbl must be written in small letters.

Dimensions 19“ Rack, 1HE x 28TE (H x W x D [mm]) = 483 x 44 x 125
Weight approx. 1.2 kg
Ambient temperature 0 to 60ºC, 10-90% relative humidity, without condensation
Operation Serial interface (via RS 232) or Telnet/SSH (via LAN)
In addition, operation is also possible with SNMP.
Accuracy GPS (DCF input) to NTP server: typical < +/- 100 µs
GPS (DCF input) to DCF output: typical < +/- 10 µs
NTP to internal time typical < +/- 100 µs
Important: NTP reception (DTS 4128 as client or as server to external clients) can be
influenced by the network traffic load and network devices (Hub, Switch,
Router, Firewall...). If many clients request simultaneously, the typical
accuracy may not be reached.
Time keeping (internal) - Synchronized with GPS:
+/-10 µs to UTC
- Holdover (free run):
After at least 12 hours synchronization from the time source
< +/- 0.01 sec. / day (< 0.1ppm)
(measured over 24 h), at 20°C +/- 5°C.
< +/- 1 ms / day (< 0.01ppm)
(measured over 24 h), at constant temperature.
- After reboot without synchronization:
< +/- 0.25 sec. / day (< 2.5ppm)
(measured over 24 h), at 20°C +/- 5°C.
