RTFM! If the reference becomes unavailable, the HW Clock uses the next highest available reference in the list. If no other references are available, the HW Clock provides holdover by "flywheeling" on its oscillator until a reference becomes available again. During this time, "REF" on the front panel TIME screen (press the TIME button) is "None", while the "NTP Stratum" remains "1". “REF” on the front panel NTP Status screen (press the STATUS button) changes to “FLY”. The following ref ids are used by the SyncServer: ============================================== GPS GPS satellite) IRIG IRIG B timecode PPS Ext. 1 PPS input E10M Ext. 10 MHz input FREE Internal Clock FLY Internal Clock after the Hardware Clock reference is lost ============================================== Apparently your first Symmetricon S200 has lost its reference. It needs attention. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
