Max Poll Interval: Select a value from the drop down (the default is 3 (8s)). For
both NTP Peers, and NTP Servers the Minimum and Maximum Poll rate for NTP
packets can be configured.
Both NTP Peers and NTP Servers support either manually configured Symmetric
Key-ID/Key string pairs or the use of Auto-Key. However, these choices are mutu-
ally exclusive and must be identically configured on both the VersaSync and the
NTP Peer or NTP Server. If the Symmetric Key-ID/Key string pair method is selec-
ted the Key-ID must be first defined on the Symmetric Key page.
Enable Symmetric Key: Click to enable Symmetric Key, and then select an option
from the drop down menu that displays.
Note: Before you can choose an option in the Key field, you must
first set up symmetric keys through the Actions panel. See "Con-
figuring NTP Symmetric Keys" on page98. Conversely, you may
check the Autokey box below the Key field.
Enable Autokey: Click here if you want to use Autokey with this server. See "NTP
Autokey" on page93.
Note: When you configure NTP Autokey, you must first disable the
NTP service in the NTP Services panel, and then re-enable it after the
