NTP Servers 1 - 4
The router can have up to four NTP server connections. The more NTP servers used, the more
accurate the time setting will be. The following section describes the configuration of the
connections.
NTP Server 1/2/3/4 Hostname
The NTP server hostname or IP address.
Broadcast Mode
When enabled, the NTP client operates in a different manner. Rather than sending out an NTP
client message and expecting a reply, the NTP module sends out a broadcast mode packet to
the IP address configured in NTP host field. The broadcast interval is determined by the value
of Minimum poll interval.
Poll Interval s1 to s2 seconds
The minimum and maximum intervals between poll broadcasts. The values are time, in
seconds, represented as a power of 2. This means that a value of 4 means that the minimum
poll interval is 2^4=16 seconds.
Startup burst Interval s seconds
When connecting to an NTP time server in polled mode, it may be necessary to send polls at
intervals shorter than the minimum poll interval, to speed up the synchronization process.
This parameter controls the interval between polls during the startup process. This feature is
useful in situations where the router only has an intermittent Internet connection.
