Normally, the individual drivers have special parameters that describe configuration
details. The file
/usr/share/doc/packages/xntp-doc/html/driver NN
.htm
(where
NN
is the number of the driver) provides information about the particular
type of clock. For example, the “type 8” clock (radio clock over serial interface) requires
an additional mode that specifies the clock more precisely. The Conrad DCF77 receiver
module, for example, has mode 5. To use this clock as a preferred reference, specify
the keyword
prefer
. The complete
server
line for a Conrad DCF77 receiver
module would be:
server 127.127.8.0 mode 5 prefer
Other clocks follow the same pattern. Following the installation of the
xntp-doc
package, the documentation for xntp is available in the directory
/usr/share/doc/
packages/xntp-doc/html
. The file
/usr/share/doc/packages/
xntp-doc/html/refclock.htm
provides links to the driver pages describing
the driver parameters.
