menu
The usage parameters are:
•
Enable.
Enables/disables the execution of the NTP client. The client is operative
when the option is selected.
•
Authentication keys:
Tabulate information allowing the definition of different
authentication codes to be used subsequently in communicating with the different
NTP servers.
•
Server:
Tabulate data that includes the NTP servers access data. Each row
contains data related to one NTP server.
•
Accept broadcast:
This establishes whether the NTP client will accept messages
transmitted with broadcast-type NTP messages.
For each of the NTP servers configured, an IP address must be provided, as well as the
type of IP message it will use to access the individual server (
unicast
) or collective Server
(
manycast
), the minimum time between requests, with the parameter establishing the
exponent of the power of 2 in seconds; the maximum time between requests, also as the
exponent of the power of 2 in seconds, and a selection option that determines whether
authentication should be used, in which case it is necessary to indicate which previously-
defined code the client with the server in question will use.
