IS SPX 1000 does not have access to the network In this case one of the devices is used as master whereas the others use its time as a reference This will not prevent your installation from time drifting but will ensure that all the devices are synchronized You have two players that need to be synchronized In this case the two devices can be connected by a cross over cable and one IS SPX 1000 configured to be the time reference for the other In all of these scenarios you will have two types of devices a master and one or more slaves One IS SPX 1000 will play the role of NTP server master and the others will connect to it for getting the correct time slaves Before adopting this solution please note that this is less reliable than the standard one in particular it s important to know that the clock of the IS SPX 1000s will drift apart from UTC time Configuration Each device is ready to work as a NTP server but a few parameters must be set to assure a smooth overall operation thus execute the following procedure 1 Designate one and only one device player as the master It should have a static IP address The clock should be properly calibrated before use For calibration information please refer to the Troubleshooting section on page 69 2 Allofthe other IS SPX 1000 players are slaves They should also have static IP addresses but this is not strictly required Configuration of the IS SPX 1000 players acting as slav
