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.
