12 NTP
12.1 Overview
The FTP protocol is used to synchronize the time of a device on a reference server
The XS supports this protocol and can get the time on one or more time servers.
The XS can also act as a time server and deliver time for secondary equipments. This solution is interesting in
the case of a low throughput SHDSL link. Only the XS queries a time server at the other end of the link.
Equipments connected to the LAN ports of the XS are synchronized locally. This allows not to overload the
low data rate SHDSL link by many NTP requests.
