The first server information requester displays the following - most of the information is only available if using the SNTP service. IP Address This is the Internet address of the polled server Stratum sntp only This is the server's stratum (lower stratum servers are more accurate) Reference sntp only This indicates the synchronisation source for the polled server. For Stratum 0 and 1 servers, it will be a four-character ID string. For other stratums it will be the IP address of the server. Precision sntp only Indicates the precision of the server (as 2^x seconds). -6 is the precision of mains frequency clocks, lower numbers are more accurate. Poll Interval sntp only This shows the minimum poll interval (in seconds) for the polled server. (This is for information only, and has no bearing on FACTS) Root Delay sntp only This indicates the "total roundtrip delay to the primary reference source" (whatever that means) Root Dispersion sntp only This shows the maximum error (in seconds) relative to the primary reference source. Leap Second sntp only This only shows if there is an extra second to be added or removed at the end of the current day. FACTS acts on this information if Obey Leap Seconds is set. ALARM! sntp only This shows that the server is currently not synchronised or has not been synchronised within the last 24 hours. If a server reports this, FACTS will not set your computer clock. (facts also reports "alarm condition" in the server display) |
