Enabling NTP Authentication

You use the ED-EQPT command to enable or disable MD5 authentication for NTP.
When you enable authentication, the TimeProvider as the NTP server includes the
authentication value in an encrypted portion of the time transmission (you use the
KEYGEN keyword to set the authentication key). An NTP client that has the same
authentication key value can then authenticate the identity of the NTP server.
Authentication is optional.
