Digital Network Clocks Make Synchronized Time Simple
Introducing the revolutionary Inova OnTime Power over Ethernet digital network clock, designed to effortlessly put everyone on the same time.
OnTime digital clocks plug into an Ethernet jack on your local area network. No AC plug is required, so installation is inexpensive and it's easy to move clocks around. Power is supplied over standard Cat-5 cabling using the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet standard, the same power source as Voice-over-IP telephones.
OnTime digital clocks are highly accurate and receive synchronized time updates automatically over the network. Inova Solutions keeps things simple by eliminating the need for specialized software - control one or hundreds of clocks from any PC on the network with a simple telnet session. OnTime clocks will find an existing Simple Network Time Protocol server on your network, or you can set up a new one, making synchronized time easy.
Inova OnTime digital network clocks feature:
- Red LED seven-segment display, 4 or 6 digit
- 4-Inch numerals, visible over 150 feet (50 meters)
- Set automatically by SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol)
- 10/100BaseT Ethernet compatible <
- DHCP or static IP addressable
- Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) using the same network components as IP telephones
- No master clock or serial connection required
Telnet control for:
- IP configuration
- SNTP server address
- Time zone offset from UTC, Daylight Savings Time
- Time Display, 12/24 hour format
- Status reporting
- Easily up-load firmware upgrades
- Service light status indicator
- UL 1950, ETL Listed, CE Marked
Benefits of Synchronized Time
Consistent and accurate time across an organization keeps things running efficiently and smoothly. In a corporate environment, time wasted on waiting for co-workers to arrive at a meeting or training session translates directly into lost productivity. Synchronized time in manufacturing environments promotes schedule adherence, helping the entire team meet productivity goals. In healthcare facilities, synchronized time is critical to daily operations, whether it's checking on patients or delivering medications. Schools and universities rely on accurate timekeeping to smoothly transition students from one class to the next.

What is Power over Ethernet? (POE)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is an exciting and relatively new technology that allows networked devices to obtain power as well as data from existing Ethernet cabling. It is used to power VoIP phones, webcams and other devices such as Inova's OnTime digital clocks and OnTrack X Series digital displays.
Power over Ethernet is a network standard, called IEE802.3af, approved by the IEEE Standards Board on June 12, 2003. It extends existing Ethernet standards, and offers the first truly international standard for power distribution. Delivering both data and power over one set of wires simplifies installation, saves space and eliminates the need for electrical outlets. Additionally, the option of centralized UPS backup allows PoE devices to continue running even in the event of a power failure.
What Do I Need to Support PoE?
Part of the beauty of PoE is that existing Ethernet switch equipment and cabling can be retained. Simply add a midspan power injector in a switch room or endpoint to inject power into the twisted pair LAN cables (midspan PoE power injectors are available from most network equipment vendors). PoE is fully compatible with both powered and non-powered 10/100BaseT Ethernet devices, featuring a "discovery process" specifically designed to prevent damage to existing Ethernet equipment.
