Configurable Data
Address - Specifies the address of the SNTP server. This is a text string of up to 64 characters
containing the encoded unicast IP address or hostname of a SNTP server. Unicast SNTP requests
will be sent to this address. If this address is a DNS hostname, then that hostname should be
resolved into an IP address each time a SNTP request is sent to it.
Port - Specifies the port on the server to which SNTP requests are to be sent. Allowed range is (1 to
65535). Default value is 123.
Priority - Specifies the priority of this server entry in determining the sequence of servers to which
SNTP requests will be sent. The client continues sending requests to different servers until a
successful response is received or all servers are exhausted. This object indicates the order in which
to query the servers. A server entry with a precedence of 1 will be queried before a server with a
priority of 2, and so forth. If more than one server has the same priority then the requesting order will
follow the lexicographical ordering of the entries in this table. Allowed range is (1 to 3). Default value
is 1.
Version - Specifies the NTP Version running on the server. Allowed range is (1 to 4). Default value is
4.
