Default Time Set Mode
In the default mode, RTC, the time is obtained from the real-time clock (RTC) on the
IMC card.
Example

(RTC), perform the following steps:
1. Login at the Admin or Power-User level (see Login, on page 74).
2. Type
set tod-source rtc and press Enter.
Root DTI Server in GPS Mode
In GPS mode, the time is obtained from GPS. The system waits until it has valid
time from GPS before it transitions out of warm-up.
Example
To provision the TimeCreator 1000 as a root server with GPS as the external
reference, perform the following steps:
1. Login at the Admin or Power-User level (see Login, on page 74).
2. Type
set tod-source gps and press Enter.
3. Type
set interface tod-mode verbose and press Enter.
Subtending DTI Server Mode
A TimeCreator 1000 provisioned as a subtending server must connect directly to a
root DTI server through the DTI client interface. A subtending server cannot be
referenced to another subtending system. The root server must be in the verbose
TOD mode so that the subtending server can obtain the necessary information via
the DTI link.
