source list in the TIMESYNC.CFG file.

located.
Maximum: 255 characters

value
Specify what time sources the server listens to.
Supported values:
ON = The server ignores SAP time sources and relies on time
sources custom-configured with the TIMESYNC Time Source
parameter
OFF = The server listens to any advertising time source
Default: OFF
TIMESYNC Directory Tree Mode =
value
Control the use of SAP packets in the eDirectory
TM
tree.
Supported values:
ON = Time synchronization ignores SAP packets that don’t
originate from within the eDirectory tree the server is on
OFF = The server can receive SAP packets from any time source
on the network
Default: ON
Don’t set this parameter to OFF if SAP is set to ON. Using OFF
could corrupt the time synchronization for this server’s eDirectory
tree.
