I have a Meinberg GPS167 NTP: http://www.meinberg.de/english/products/gps167.htm

Although it doesnt have a ethernet RJ45 port. Is there any way to connect it to a LAN?

These devices connect to a computer via the serial (RS232) interface. You can then serve NTP to your LAN from the computer.

  • Hello Aaron, like: install a Linux that uses the meinberg to syncronise internally and then install a local NTP to serve the network? – Andre Dec 06 '10 at 21:53
  • Exactly, any distro should work. The NTP daemon should refer to the serial interface for it's source clock. I haven't done this myself, but have looked into it. The Meinberg device may have some documentation. – Aaron Copley Dec 06 '10 at 22:07
