NTP (Network Time Protocol)
MDM6000 >> Device Setup >> NTP
By default, NTP is disabled.
The NTP protocol is used to synchronize the clocks of different devices over a network. It is based
on the principle of having all machines get as close as possible to the correct UTC time (Coordinated
Universal Time).
Enter the different NTP peer IP Addresses to which must be synchronized.
The MDM6000 Satellite Modem acts as a client and periodically queries the server for a precise UTC
time reference.
It is possible to enter up to four NTP peer IP addresses.
It is recommended to enter more than one NTP peer IP Address to increase the
reliability of the network synchronization.
