Mode
Select 1 to 3 sources for
OTMC 100
to receive NTP time information from
if it is not
locked to GPS satellites
. The more sources you specify, the more accurate is the NTP
time information
OTMC 100
can deliver.
Select
IPv4
or
IPv6
, and type in the address of an NTP time server (e.g. pool.ntp.org) to
the respective field. Or select
Disabled
if you do not want to use it.
Use the corresponding
Minpoll
and
Maxpoll
fields to enter the minimum and maximum
polling interval as a power of 2 (i.e., in 2
x
seconds). For example, if you enter a value of 5,
OTMC 100
will poll the NTP time server every 32 seconds (= 2
5
). Possible values: 4 to 17,
resulting in an interval between 16 and 131072 seconds.
7.3.4.2
Broadcast mode pane
The most common configuration is the client/server mode where every client sends a request to the
server to retrieve the current time. No separate configuration is required for this mode.
The broadcast/multicast mode works by broadcasting the time into the network. In this case, the
clients must be configured to listen for broadcast/multicast messages in the network. This mode can
be configured on this tab.
