6.1 Network Time Protocol
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a family of programs that are
used to adjust the system clock on your computer and keep it
synchronized with external sources of time. NTP was developed by
Dr. David Mills at the University of Delaware. Information is
available at the official NTP web site:
www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp
The Network Time Protocol is designed to function as a background
task on the host operating system, so that its operation is transparent
to the user and system tasks. Time data is transferred from external
time sources to clients within your domain. NTP achieves accuracy in
the sub-microsecond to low-millisecond range with hardware
currently available.
This section describes installation of the NTP software on a
designated network computer for use with the Acutime Smart
Antenna as primary reference clock.
