Leap Indicator
The GPS, Timecode, and LF Radio reference inputs provide time and phase, while the
1PPS, and 10MHz inputs provide phase only.
The modem, which provides dial-up time service, is not an Input Reference; it is a server
association on the NTP daemon.
Leap Indicator
The Leap Indicator (LI) is a two-bit binary number in the NTP packet header that provides
the following information:
n
Advance warning that a leap second adjustment will be made to the UTC timescale at the
end of the current day. Leap seconds are events mandated by the world time authority
(BIPM) in order to synchronize the UTC time scale with the earth's rotation.
n
Whether the NTP daemon is synchronized to a timing reference. The settings on the
NTP - Prefs
(on page 50) page affect LI behavior.
LI Value
Meaning
00
0
No warning.
01
1
Leap second insertion: Last minute of the day has 61 seconds.
10
2
Leap second deletion: Last minute of the day has 59 seconds.

Alarm condition (Not synchronized)
When the SyncServer or NTP daemon is started or restarted, the leap indicator is set to "11",
the alarm condition. This alarm condition makes it possible for NTP clients to recognize that
an NTP server (the SyncServer) is present, but that it has yet to validate its time from its time
sources. Once the SyncServer finds a valid source of time and sets its clock, it sets the leap
indicator to an appropriate value. The
NTP Leap Change Alarm
on the
ADMIN - Alarms
page can be configured to generate an alarm and send notifications each time the leap indic-
ator changes state.
NTP Associations
An NTP association is a configured relationship between the SyncServer's NTP daemon
and another NTP node. The
Role
of the association determines the behavior between the
NTP daemon and NTP node. The most common type of association (
Role
) is
Server
, which
means the NTP node operates as a server to the SyncServer's NTP daemon.
The Hardware Clock (on all models) and the Modem
1
(on the S300 and S350) are NTP
nodes that exist within the SyncServer. All other NTP nodes exist on the network and can
only be reached through the network interfaces on the SyncServer.
