Usage Guidelines

Broadcast mode is intended for operation on networks with numerous workstations and where the

highest accuracy is not required. In a typical scenario, one or more time servers on the network broad-

cast NTP messages that are received by NTP hosts. Correct time is determined from this NTP message

based on a pre-configured latency or broadcast delay in the order of a few milliseconds.

In order to configure NTP in broadcast client mode, it is required to define the network server to client

broadcast delay.
