8. In order for the TimeCom CI to communicate with TimeSync, loop-back support
(address 127.0.0.1) must be enabled on the system.
To install TimeSync using the tar archive file, proceed as follows:
1. Place the CD into the CD drive on the Linux system.
2. Mount the CD if your system is not configured to do so automatically, for example:
[root tmp]# mount /mnt/cdrom
3. Create an installation directory on your system and change to it, for example:
[root tmp]# mkdir /usr/local/timesync
[root tmp]# cd /usr/local/timesync
4. Copy the archive file from the WS_SW directory on the CD to the directory created
above, for example:
[root timesync]# cp /mnt/cdrom/WS_SW/TimeSync-1.3.203.tar.gz ./
5. Use the tar utility to extract the archive contents, for example:
[root timesync]# tar –xzvpf TimeSync-1.3.203.tar.gz
The following files will be extracted to the current directory:
File Name
Description
ReadMe.txt
The product README file
timecom
TimeCom object file
timesync
TimeSync process object file
timesync.conf
TimeSync configuration file
timesync.init
TimeSync init script

6. Move/copy files to any other location on your system if you wish to do so.
7. If you would like TimeSync to start automatically when the system boots, you will need
to copy the initialization script to the /etc/init.d directory, and also add TimeSync to
the system startup scripts. For example:
[root timesync]# cp –p timesync.init /etc/init.d/timesync
[root timesync]# /sbin/chkconfig –-add timesync
