Time Dissemination by Telephone(TEL-JJY)
Introduction
NICT Dial-up standard time service (Telephone JJY) is
a system using public telephone line to supply Japan Standard Time (JST)
with high precision. Time signal can be obtained by modem, which is a standard
way for data transmission using a personal computer. The last bit of time
data is synchronized to the rising of the 1pps signal based on JST and
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). You can obtain the standard time with
+-1 ms precision everywhere in Japan if you use the special receiver on
the market.
Introduction of the system is simply explained below:
1.1 Receiving equipment
You can access to this service by any instrument which
is available for modem connection, for example a personal computer with
modem or a special receiver on the market.
1.2 Starting this service
This system is started by user's equipment or computer
( we call them "user's equipment"). Our transmission devices
send the information (such as time code) as the response for the request
command from users.
1.3 Outline of the access method
Special communication protocol is not necessary for this
system. If you set the parameter as the same way as dial-up connection, you can get the time data by using the commercial communication
software. The parameters are shown in the section 2.1. ( Please input the
ID number and the password in capital letter in ASCII code, and the command
in the alphabet in ASCII code.)

When the prompt is displayed, please input the command
"HELP" or "INFO" for the test. You should input the
command "BYE" or "END" in order to terminate your access
normally.
1.4 Time delay calibration
When the appropriate command is sent from users equipment,
our transmitter make the round-trip-circuit, then users can measure the
delay time caused by the communication line itself.
