Object Description
• Client Mode Specifies the mode of operation of SNTP Client. An SNTP client may operate in
one of the following modes.
• Disable- SNTP is not operational. No SNTP requests are sent from the
client nor are any received SNTP messages processed.
•
Unicast- SNTP operates in a point to point fashion. A unicast client sends a
request to a designated server at its unicast address and expects a reply
from which it can determine the time and, optionally the round-trip delay and
local clock offset relative to the server.
• Broadcast - SNTP operates in the same manner as multicast mode but
uses a local broadcast address instead of a multicast address. The
broadcast address has a single subnet scope while a multicast address has
Internet wide scope.
Default value is Disable.
• Port Specifies the local UDP port to listen for responses/broadcasts. Allowed range is
(1 to 65535).
Default value is 123.
• Unicast Poll Interval Specifies the number of seconds between unicast poll requests expressed as a
power of two when configured in unicast mode. Allowed range is (6 to 10).
Default value is 6.
• Broadcast Poll Interval Specifies the number of seconds between broadcast poll requests expressed as
a power of two when configured in broadcast mode. Broadcasts received prior to
the expiry of this interval are discarded. Allowed range is (6 to 10).
Default value is 6.
• Unicast Poll Timeout Specifies the number of seconds to wait for an SNTP response when configured
in unicast mode. Allowed range is (1 to 30).
Default value is 5.
• Unicast Poll Retry Specifies the number of times to retry a request to an SNTP server after the first
time-out before attempting to use the next configured server when configured in
unicast mode. Allowed range is (0 to 10).
Default value is 1.

immediately.
