NTP Software Installation and Configuration

6.6.2Manual Installation

Manual installation requires the user to create the configuration file, copy the NTP executable to the appropriate location on disk, and then install, configure and start the NTP service.

The manual installation procedures for the NTP software are below.

Create the Configuration File

The NTP configuration file, NTP.CONF, should be created in the \WINNT\ directory.

The lines preceded by # symbols are comments and are ignored by NTP.

Valid unit numbers on Windows NT are 1–255. The unit number identifies the number of the serial port on the Windows NT host. For example, if the Acutime NTP reference clock is connected to COM2, the entry line should read:

server 127.127.29.2

1.Copy the sample configuration file above.

2.Change the Acutime unit number to the correct number corresponding to the COM port you are using.
