Lathem Launches Version 2 of MasterLink Software
Vista Compatibility and Network Connectivity are key features of Version 2.
ATLANTA, Ga. - February 1,
2008 --
Lathem Time Corp., one of the world's leading designers and
manufacturers of time management products for business, launches
Version 2.0 of its Masterlink software used to manage its LTR8-512
series master clocks. Lathem's wall clock systems allow schools,
hospitals, manufacturing, and government facilities to synchronize
time to the exact second. Benefits include teaching students to be
punctual and minimize disruptions due to tardiness, allowing
physicians to rely on accurate time to determine when to check
patients and administer medicine, and helping manufacturers improve
productivity and reduce unnecessary confusion due to time- related
delays.
"Our master clock users wanted a more user-friendly way to manage bell schedules and update their master clock systems," said Jim Owen, product manager for Lathem's Wall Clock and Institutional Systems. "Masterlink 2.0 gives them complete control from a remote desktop PC using an easy-to-use interface."
Masterlink 2.0 is a Windows-based application that works on the latest Microsoft platforms, including Vista. The software is scalable to meet the user's needs from one master clock system to clusters of multiple master clock systems across an enterprise or school system. New with Version 2.0 is an Ethernet option for communicating and updating time with master clocks across a local or wide area network. Masterlink 2.0 supports all LTR8 series master clocks with firmware 5.1 or greater.
