Icons | Description |
Name | Name of the NTP configuration. |
IP Address | Specify the IP address for the NTP server. |
Network | The default network is Auto. |

NTP Status
NTP Status provides the status across the MCM9000 devices configured with the MCS.
Fields | Description |
Label | NTP name. |
Device | MCM9000 device configured. |
Offset (sec) | Clock offset refers to the difference in time between external timing and time on a local machine. The lesser the offset, the more accurate is the lock of the local machine to the clock source. |
Drift (ppm) | Clock Drift shows the drift between the system and the NTP/PTP clocks (in ppm). |
Age (sec) | Age is the time last synced. It is presented in seconds. The NTP/PTP module keeps time synced in case of small offsets. In case of a large offset (a few seconds), the Clock should be synced manually. |
Status | Status from each MCM9000 device configured. |
The refresh rate button on the top right allows you to choose the refresh rate for specified time (in seconds) or disable it.
