Re: Time to sync (or swim)

With V5R3, your AS/400 can sync time with the atomic clock over the
internet (acting as a client), and can act as a server for your network, PC
clients and other 400's.

One of our facilities is interested in putting "large display" clocks on
the shop floor that can be easily seen from a distance.  We currently use
Kronos 551 clocks for time and attendance.  We also have a Kronos clock
that controls the bell for shift changes, breaks, etc.  We have a job that
runs every day that synchronizes the time clock time with the iSeries time
so that the time on all clocks and bells match.  The Kronos clocks work
well but you can only see the time when standing directly in front of them
and Kronos doesn't sell a large display clock.

We have seen one product that synchs its time with a PC.  Our PC's do sync
their times with a Novell server.  One suggestion was to have the iSeries
sync its time with Novell.  While this might be handy the goal is simply to
display the time and have it match the time clocks/iSeries time.  Can
anybody recommend any products?  Thanks.
