Bodet Netsilon 7 NTP Time Server with GPS

The Bodet Netsilon 7 Time Server provides precise and reliable network time synchronisation for IT, security and operational systems. Combining NTP time distribution with a high-precision TCXO internal oscillator and support for GPS or GLONASS references, it helps ensure consistent timestamps across connected network devices.

Designed for organisations requiring dependable time without the complexity of a critical-infrastructure time platform, Netsilon 7 combines accurate synchronisation, modular expansion and network security within a compact 19-inch 1U format.

Accurate Network Time Synchronisation

Accurate time is essential for maintaining reliable event logs across modern networks. Netsilon 7 can synchronise equipment such as:

• Computers and servers
• Network infrastructure
• Printers
• Video surveillance systems
• Access control systems
• Industrial equipment
• Other NTP-compatible network devices

Consistent time across these systems helps administrators correlate events, analyse incidents and maintain reliable timestamped records.

The high-precision TCXO internal oscillator also provides holdover capability when the external GPS or GLONASS reference is temporarily unavailable.

GPS / GLONASS and Reference Prioritisation

The Bodet Netsilon 7 Time Server can use external synchronisation references while allowing administrators to establish a priority order between available time sources.

This allows the server to maintain a dependable hierarchy of references and continue distributing accurate network time if the preferred source becomes temporarily unavailable.

After synchronisation with GPS or GLONASS, the internal oscillator provides continued timekeeping to help minimise disruption during loss of the external reference.

Modular and Expandable Architecture

Netsilon 7 features a modular design supporting up to four expansion cards, allowing the server to accommodate different input and output requirements.

This flexibility makes it suitable for organisations that need to integrate network-based time synchronisation with existing timing infrastructure or additional time-distribution technologies.

The modular approach also provides room for future system expansion as synchronisation requirements change.

Network Security and Access Management

Security settings allow administrators to control the protocols and services available on the server.

Depending on the configured environment, security capabilities include:

• Protocol activation and deactivation
• Encryption controls
• Authentication controls
• Single sign-on protection
• SSL
• SCP
• SFTP
• LDAP / LDAPS authentication
• Centralised access management

These controls help organisations integrate accurate network time while maintaining appropriate security policies for their infrastructure.

Alarm and System Monitoring

Netsilon 7 can provide system and alarm information using SNMP traps and email notifications, helping administrators identify synchronisation or operational issues.

Remote monitoring reduces the need to physically inspect the time server and allows network administrators to respond more quickly when attention is required.

Applications

The server is suitable for organisations where accurate timestamping and network synchronisation are important, including:

• Industrial and manufacturing facilities
• Logistics centres
• Hospitals and healthcare facilities
• Pharmaceutical laboratories
• Airports
• Railway environments
• Data centres
• Security and surveillance installations
• Enterprise IT networks
