Time Synchronization
In SmartPTT, all computers and MOTOTRBO repeaters are strongly recommended to be connected to the same time source. This reduces risks of having invalid timestamps in the solution.
This articles provides information on how to configure time source within your network using Windows Time Services. The services use Network Time Protocol (NTP).
NTP-Capable Devices§
- Windows computers
that host the following software:
- SmartPTT servers
- SmartPTT Dispatcher Apps
- MNIS
- DDMS
- MOTOTRBO repeaters
- Capacity Max System Servers
- Connect Plus hardware devices:
- XRC controllers
- XRT gateways
Recommendations§
If you deploy SmartPTT in the network where domain controller is deployed and used, you are recommended to connect SmartPTT hosts, as well as MOTOTRBO hosts and repeaters to the time source configured in the controller.
If you deploy SmartPTT in the network without a domain controller, you are recommended to use SmartPTT Server computer as a Network Time source.
Firewall Setup§
You must unlock default NTP ports on SmartPTT and MOTOTRBO host computers. For details, read this article
