3.4. NTP PROTOCOL GENERAL INFORMATION NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a network protocol designed to synchronize a device (the client) with a time reference (the server). The LEDI NETWORK TDS V1 is a server that ® can synchronize numerous client devices from a main time source and optionally a client capable of synchronizing on several servers.
3.5. GENERAL FACTS ABOUT SYNCHRONIZATION The synchronization is the process during which, a local clock (internal) will be tuned by aligning on a distant clock (the reference). A local clock works with a reference frequency signal generated by an oscillator. The LEDI ®...
