Network Time Protocol (NTP) for XPEK Systems<br />

Detailed Description<br />

Detailed Description - General<br />

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) on XPEK systems allows the MCU to synchronize the<br />

internal MCU control unit’s clock with an external NTP server. Accurate time calculation is<br />

essential for cascaded or recurring conferences.<br />

The time synchronization protocol used in <strong>MGC</strong> version 7.5 is SNTP (Simple Network<br />

Time Protocol), a version of the NTP protocol used by Microsoft’s W32Time Service. NTP<br />

servers use the time-zone independent Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) standard to<br />

synchronize networked computers. UTC is the current official standard that is based on an<br />

atomic clock and ensures uniform time calculation for networks.<br />

To synchronize MCU time with the NTP Server:<br />

1. Right-click the MCU icon and click MCU Time.<br />
