automatically by the initial protocol exchanges between the client and server. This is the
broadcast or multicast delay reported by the NTP daemon. The value is always set to 0.004
seconds on the SyncServer.
authdelay:
When NTP authentication is enabled and performed on outgoing NTP packets,
this adds a trivial amount of fixed delay that can be removed based on the authdelay value.
This value is always set to zero on the SyncServer.
RESTART Button
After changing the NTP configuration, click the
RESTART
button to put the new configuration
into effect. While the NTP daemon restarts, its services are temporarily unavailable, and it
generates the following alarm events: NTP Stratum Change, NTP System Peer Change,
NTP Leap Change.
NTP - Assoc
Use this page to view the status of NTP associations listed on the
NTP - Config
page.

(on page 197) in the Glossary.
NTP Associations
NTP associations with non-valid IP addresses and domain names are not shown. (If a
known good domain name does not appear on this list, there may be a problem with the
DNS server configuration on the
NETWORK - Ethernet
page, or with the DNS service itself.)
Remote:
The domain name or IP address of the remote end of the NTP association. “Hard-
ware Clock” is the SyncServer's Hardware Clock. In the case of a remote NTP connection,
this will be the IP address of the remote end.
The character in the left margin indicates the mode in which this peer entry is operating:
n
* (asterisk) the association with which the NTP daemon is synchronizing (the
system
peer
on
NTP - Sysinfo
), marked "synchronizing".
n
+ (plus) indicates the SyncServer is
symmetric active
mode.
n
- (minus) indicates the SyncServer is
symmetric passive
mode.
n
= (equal) means the SyncServer is in
client
mode, marked "being polled".
n
^ (caret) indicates that the SyncServer is broadcasting to the remote node, marked
"broadcasting to".
n
~ (tilde) denotes that the remote node is broadcasting to the SyncServer.
Local:
The IP address of the SyncServer network port at the local end of the NTP asso-
ciation. For the Hardware Clock it is "127.0.0.1", the IP address of the loopback port.
St:
The stratum level of the remote clock in the NTP hierarchy. Lower values are given more
emphasis. For the local Hardware Clock, stratum 0 is a special value that indicates the Hard-
ware Clock it is synchronized by a "timing root" reference such as GPS
1
. Values in the range
of 1 through 15 indicate the number of steps the remote NTP connection is from its timing
root. Stratum 16 is a special value that indicates that the remote connection is not
1
The SyncServer S350i does not include a GPS receiver.
