some instances the term Palisade is still used in the screen captures

6.1.1 NTP Time Servers
A primary network time server is a networked computer connected to
an accurate external source of reference time. The time server
synchronizes its clock to the reference clock’s time, and provides
accurate time of day information to clients on the network. The
network computer is also referred to as the host, because it provides a
serial interface for the Acutime and processing facilities for time
transfer.
NTP Time Server Requirements
The Acutime NTP Synchronization Kit can be used on any Windows
NT or UNIX system with an available serial port. The NTP software
used must include support for the Acutime Smart Antenna.
• Windows NT 4.0 or UNIX System with RS-232 Port
• NTP Version 4 Executable with Acutime NTP reference
clock support
As many as four Acutime receivers can be connected to a single time
server.
Optional Equipment:
DOS/Windows 95/98/NT System for monitoring GPS operation
through Acutime Port B.
