29. Configuring NTP
Revision 1.14.3 258 RX1000/RX1100™
Note that the NTP server is disabled by default and may be enabled via the System folder, Bootup And
Shutdown menu. When enabled, any configuration changes may be made to take effect by selecting
the Restart ntpd daemon button. The View GPS Status and View GPS log sub-menus appear if
the router is equipped with a Precision Time Protocol card.
29.2.2. Generic Options
Figure 29.2. NTP Generic Options
Set the Broadcast Client option to "Yes" if you wish to act on NTP broadcast messages.
The default multicast address used for NTP is 224.0.1.1. Select a custom multicast address with the
Custom address field if you wish to use a different address.
The Bind interface option allows you to select an existing interface so that ntp will use the selected
interface IP address as the source IP address for outbounding NTP packets.
29.2.3. Servers Configuration
Figure 29.3. NTP Server List
The servers under the IP address column are used as primary synchronization devices. Clicking on
a link will allow you to edit that server.
By default the router includes the links 0.debian.pool.ntp.org. The 0.debian.pool.ntp.org address
selects a random low stratum server from a pool of ntp servers on the Internet.
If you are operating in a private network you will want to delete both of these addresses and substitute
that of a locally known low stratum server.
