NTP Software Installation and Configuration

1.Replace the string ttyb in the ln command with the appropriate serial port designator for your system.

2.Replace the number 1 in the string /dev/Acutime1 with the unit number in your NTP configuration file.

Serial port designators on UNIX systems are usually designated by /dev/cuau or /dev/ttyu, where u may be composed of one or more alphanumeric characters.

The following table may assist you in locating the appropriate serial port and symbolic link names for your system. Verify presence of the actual device files and validity of all links in the /DEV directory before using a serial device.
