 Broadcast from NTP Server: Enables the SLC console manager to accept time
information periodically transmitted by the NTP server. This is the default if you
enable NTP.
 Poll NTP Server: Enables the SLC device to query the NTP Server for the
correct time. If you select this option, complete one of the following:
 Local: Select this option if the NTP servers are on a local network, and enter the
IP address of up to three NTP servers. This is the default, and it is highly
recommended.
 Public: Select this option if you want to use a public NTP server, and select the
address of the NTP server from the drop-down list. This is not recommended
because of the high load on many public NTP servers. All servers in the drop-
down list are stratum-2 servers. (See
www.ntp.org for more information.)
Each public NTP server has its own usage rules --please refer to the appropriate
web site before using one. Our listing them here is to provide easy configuration but
does not indicate any permission for use.
