TOD synchronization parameters (Site Manager)

Parameter

Values (Default)

Description

 

 

 

TOD parameters applicable to NP and SP

 

 

 

 

Status

(Off), On

Indicates if time of day synchronization is active or

 

 

inactive.

 

 

 

Offset threshold

1 to 1800 seconds for NP

Time of day offset threshold allowed in seconds. If

 

2 to 8 seconds for SP

the threshold is exceeded, a TOD threshold

 

(default is 5 seconds)

crossing alert is generated.

DISPERSION-TOO-LARGE

DISPERSION-TOO-LARGE, The network latency

Note: An * designates which server the client is

 

 

using for synchronization.
