5.3.4 NTP Tab
This tab shows information and adjustment possibilities of the NTP services of the Network
Time Client 8029NTC. The NTP service is the significant main service of the Network Time
Client 8029NTC.
If you are not familiar with the subject of NTP you can find a short description in the Glossary.
More details are also available at
NTP functionality is provided by an NTP-Demon running on the embedded Linux of the
Network Time Client 8029NTC.
Depending on the receiving conditions and under unfavourable circumstances it may take
several hours until long-term accuracy is obtained (normally 5-10 minutes). During this time
the NTP algorithm adjusts the internal accuracy parameters.
After all changes relating to NTP a restart of the NTP service must be
performed (see
Chapter 5.3.4.6
Via the NTP protocol SNTP Clients can also be synchronized. In contrast
to NTP in SNTP Clients delay times are not evaluated on the network. For
this reason the accuracy reached in SNTP Clients is lower than in NTP
Clients.
5.3.4.1 System Info
In the window "System Info" the current NTP values of the NTP service running on the
embedded Linux of the Network Time Client 8029NTC are indicated. In addition to the NTP
calculated values for root delay, root dispersion, jitter, and stability the stratum value of the
Time Client 8029NTC, the status to the leap second, and the current system peer are also
found here.
The NTP version used adjusts the leap second correctly.
In case the used NTP Server (System PEER) works with Stratum 1 the NTP Client reaches
max. Stratum 2.
