All Unity Connection servers require

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

an external NTP source that are

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

accessible during installation. The

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

source can be a corporate head-end

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

router synchronized with a public

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NTP time server or it can be the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

public NTP time server itself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note To avoid potential

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

compatibility, accuracy, and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

network jitter problems, the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

external NTP servers should

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

be NTP v4 (version 4). If you

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

are usingIPv6 addressing,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

external NTP servers must be

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NTP v6.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note The NTP server that you
