Page 35: Additional Information
NTS-6001 WEB CONFIGURATION ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The NTS-6001 contains a full implementation of the NTP version 4 standard. All of the features of this software are available through the NTP Customisation page of the Web Configuration System. Commands entered into this page are used as they would be in an ntp.conf configuration file. - Page 36 NTS-6001 WEB CONFIGURATION server address [options ...] peer address [options ...] broadcast address [options ...] manycastclient address [options ...] These four commands specify the time server name or address to be used and the mode in which to operate. The address can be either a DNS name or an IP address in dotted-quad notation.
- Page 37 NTS-6001 WEB CONFIGURATION For type m addresses (only), this command mobilises a pre-emptible manycast client mode association for the multicast group address specified. In this mode a specific address must be supplied which matches the address used on the manycastserver command for the designated manycast servers.
-
Page 38: Command Options
NTS-6001 WEB CONFIGURATION COMMAND OPTIONS autokey All packets sent to and received from the server or peer are to include authentication fields encrypted using the autokey scheme described in the Authentication Options page. This option is valid with all commands. - Page 39 NTS-6001 WEB CONFIGURATION true Force the association to assume truechimer status; that is, always survive the selection and clustering algorithms. This option can be used with any association, but is most useful for reference clocks with large jitter on the serial port and precision pulse-per-second (PPS) signals.
-
Page 40: Auxiliary Commands
NTS-6001 WEB CONFIGURATION AUXILIARY COMMANDS broadcastclient [novolley] This command enables reception of broadcast server messages to any local interface (type b) address. Ordinarily, upon receiving a message for the first time, the broadcast client measures the nominal server propagation delay using a brief client/server exchange with the server, after which it continues in listen-only mode. -
Page 41: Authentication Commands
NTS-6001 WEB CONFIGURATION AUTHENTICATION COMMANDS autokey [logsec] Specifies the interval between regenerations of the session key list used with the Autokey protocol. Note that the size of the key list for each association depends on this interval and the current poll interval. -
Page 42: Ntp Keys
NTS-6001 WEB CONFIGURATION NTP KEYS The NTP standard specifies an extension allowing verification of the authenticity of received NTP Packets, and to provide an indication of authenticity in outgoing packets. The specification allows any one of possibly 4 billion keys, numbered with 32 bit key identifiers, to be used to authenticate an association. -
Page 43: Snmp
