INTRODUCTION
The Ethernet clock developed by SignalClocks is a robust, light weight and low maintenance unit, designed from mild steel and finished with a smooth powder coating. Using Power over Ethernet (PoE), digital clocks can be synchronized with a network timeserver, are easy to setup and use highly visible LED characters to display optically clear readings.

INSTALLATION
POWER OVER ETHERNET CABLING PLAN
Galleons SignalClock requires a connection to a PoE enabled network so it can source power in compliance with IEEE 802.3af.
PoE power is commonly used to power devices such as wireless Access Points and IP Telephones; it is usually injected into the LAN using either PoE enabled Ethernet switches or a Power Injector. Consult with your IT Administrator regarding the PoE equipment on your network.
SMALL SCALE INSTALATIONS
Single port PoE power injectors are the best means of power for a demonstration system or a small scale deployment.
A power injector is typically installed in the communications room, and passes Ethernet communications through while also injecting power in accordance with the IEEE 802.3af standard.
Note - A power injector requires a connection to AC power and may be connected to a battery backed uninterruptable power supply (UPS).
Galleon Systems offers a single port PoE injector for sale to support demonstration systems. For more information on these please call our Sales Team on 0121 608 7230.
SITES WITH POE ENABLED NETWORK EQUIPMENT
Note: Before you configure your unit, make sure you’ve chosen an area that’s appropriate to mount the
clock later, taking into account how long you require the leads to be.
Sites that are already equipped with a PoE enabled network are most likely already compatible with the SignalClocks Digital Clock.
If you have a PoE network simply connect the clock to the PoE enabled port on your hub/switch. The Digital Clock will then automatically request and receive power from a PoE enabled switch that conforms to the IEEE 802.3af standard.
If the site plan calls for a significant number of clocks to be powered from a single piece of network equipment, it may be useful to verify that that piece of equipment can deliver the necessary power. Some PoE enabled switches cannot deliver the full IEEE 802.3af power of 550ma per port or may require certain power options to do so.

SITES WITH NO EXISTING POE EQUIPMENT
Note: Before you configure your unit, make sure you’ve chosen an area that’s appropriate to mount the
clock later, taking into account how long you require the leads to be.
For areas that aren’t equipped with a PoE enabled network, then the setup is typically best served by using a Power Injector.
If you choose this method and have a power injector supplied by Galleon, then connect the sub/switch to the port labelled “LAN” on the power injector, and then connect the clock to the port labelled “PoE” on the power injector. Plug the power supply in and wait for the display to come on, when the unit powers up make a note of the IP address as this will be needed to configure the unit via telnet later.
Galleon Systems offers a single port PoE injector for sale to support demonstration systems. For more information on these please call our Sales Team on 0121 608 7230.
MOUNTING THE CLOCK
After the PoE setup has been completed, the clock can be mounted to the wall.
Step 1 – Locate the two slots on the back of the Signal Clock, which allow the clock to be mounted to the wall using two screws.
Step 1 - Measure a horizontal line of exactly 300mm in the area of your choice, the end points of which represent the drilling locations for the screws.
Step 2 – Drill the holes, and insert raw plugs into the wall to prevent the screws from coming loose.
Step 3 – Fit the screws into the plugs.
Step 5 – When the clock is ready, connect the appropriate cables and hang it on the wall.

CONFIGURATION
TELNET CONFIGURATION
The clocks can be configured individually using a telnet session. This will need to be done on every clock in turn.
Using Telnet, you can configure all of the clocks settings including:
IP Address;
NTP Server;
Time-Zone Settings;
DST Settings;
DHCP Settings;
And more.
ESTABLISHING A CONNCTION TO THE CLOCK
Connect the clock to a PoE enabled network and watch the digital display for the DHCP Server IP Address. DHCP is set as ‘On’ by default.
If you do not have a PoE enabled network, then you can use a Power Injector (sold separately) to provide power to the clock.
Once you have the IP Address for the clock, you can establish a connection via Telnet:
In the Start Menu, type cmd and press Enter.
When the command line window appears, type the telnet command ‘telnet
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 3001’, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the known IP Address of the clock and 3001 is the port number.
N.B. Include spaces between telnet, the IP Address and the Port number.
The clock’s Login Prompt should appear
o Login: USER
o Password: USER
You are now ready to configure the clock, using telnet.

DST SETTINGS INFORMATION
By default the Digital Clock will have DST Setting input, but they are not active. The use of the ‘U’ Command will result in the clock returning “DST Values Not Set!”
You must first enter the settings that are correct for your time-zone using the ‘V’ Command, as described below.
The DST String contains the following components:
1. Month – A value between 1 and 12;
2. Week – A value between 1 and 5;
3. Day – A value between 1 and 7;
4. Hour – A value between 0 and 24.
The components of the DST String are used twice, once for the DST Start and secondly for the DST End
The DST String is entered in the following format:
V x:x:x:x x:x:x:x
An example of entering this would be:
V 3:5:7:2 10:5:7:2
The Response from the clock would be:
DST Start Month:= March Week:= Last Day:= Sunday Hour:= 2 DST End Month:= October Week:= Last Day:= Sunday Hour:= 2
A tool to help calculate the DST Settings String can be found in the Knowledgebase on the Galleon Support website –

CONDITION
SOLUTION
The digital clock face is dark
Verify that the network port is capable of supplying PoE Power. Reboot the clock by disconnecting the data cable, counting to five, and reconnecting the cable.
The clock shows incorrect time
If the minutes past the hour are correct, verify the Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time settings.
A ‘dhcp’ message is shown on the digital clock
face
The clock has failed to receive an IP address from the DHCP Server. Contact your IT Administrator regarding the DHCP Service.
Determine the IP Address of a clock
Disconnect the network cable and count to five. Replace the network cable and watch the digital clock face. Record the IP Address and location.
The digital clock face shows ‘----‘
The Time Server is either not properly specified or is unreachable
