1 Document Overview
IGT has chosen Meinberg as its NTP server for all field deployable product lines. As it was created and distributed by
the consortium that created the NTP protocol, it does not have any licensing constraints as most products do for
corporate use.
The high level, simple topology is that the NTP source in rack should be a neutral entity. This is should be a VM that
is covered by the HA of the Virtual Infrastructure. The NTP VM can then also be pointed to a corporate based NTP
source in order to keep all systems in sync.
1. Meinberg needs to be installed on a dedicated NTP server pointing to a dedicated Corp Time server. NTP server
will be used to issue time on the games. Group Policy Windows Time will be used to sync the servers within the
Domain. Need to make sure that port 123 is open for NTP communication
2. Select a node or VM that will be presented to all appropriate networks (sbX, Adv, Ezpay, and so on). This node
should be a dedicated workgroup VM (Windows 2008R2 SP1 currently) that is accessible by all VMs. Do not
choose a physical node inside or outside the rack if at all possible.
11. Change the Log On information for the Network Time Protocol Service
o Use Local System for sbX Integrated Solution as the NTP server will only be on a WORKGROUP
o Use the IGTService account if you are installing Meinberg in Management for a TierOne or
GetConnected Solution. Click Apply and then OK.
Restart the service to verify connectivity once the configuration is completed.

Step
21. Make sure that all the server time sync within a second as G2S is very time sensitive.
22. To verify that the settings are correct and that the
server you are setting is connected and updating
time, log on to your NTP server, then launch the
Meinberg NTP Server Monitor. Go to the NTP
Status page and click the refresh button. Once
the list has refreshed, ensure that the newly
configured servers are being displayed in the
Local Address column.
