o acting courier role
Default: noncourier Value: courier or noncourier
Specifies whether a backup courier is currently functioning
as a courier. If the role is noncourier, then the node is not
attempting to synchronize with global servers.
o advertisement interval
Default: 0-01:30:00.000 Value: 0-00:00:30.000-99-99:99:99.999
Specifies the amount of time between a server's advertisement
broadcasts.
o check interval
Default: 0-01:30:00.00 Value: 0-00:00:30.000-99-99:99:99.999
Specifies the amount of time between checks for faulty servers.
Applicable only to servers that have external time-providers.
o clock adjustment rate
Specifies the rate at which the DECdts server or clerk entity
adjusts the node's clock during a synchronization.
o courier role
Default: noncourier Value: See following description.
Specifies a server's interaction with the set of global servers.
backup courier The local server becomes a courier if none are
available on the LAN.
courier The local server synchronizes with the global set
of servers.
noncourier The local server does not routinely synchronize
with the global set of servers.
o DNA Version
Specifies the Distributed Network Architecture version to which
the DECdts software conforms.
o DTSS Version
Specifies the DTSS module/DECdts software version installed on the
node.
o epoch number
Default: 0 Value: 0-255
Specifies the server's epoch number. The change command modifies
this characteristic.
o error tolerance
Default: 0-00:10:00.000 Value: 0-00:00:00.500-99-99:99:99.999
Specifies the maximum separation allowed between the local clock
and the computed time before synchronizations become abrupt rather
than gradual (monotonic).
o global directory
Specifies the full name of the DECdns directory that contains the
list of DECdts servers that belong to the global set.
o lan timeout
Default: 0-00:00:02.000 Value: 0-00:00:01.000-0-00:05:00.000
Specifies the amount of time the node waits for a response
to a synchronization request before sending another request
or declaring a server to be unavailable. The node sends
three requests before declaring a non-responding server to be
unavailable.
o maximum clock drift rate
Specifies the worst case drift rate of the node's clock, in
nanoseconds per second, as determined by the manufacturer's
specifications.
o maximum inaccuracy
Default: 0-00:01:40.00 Value: 0-00:00:00.0 - 99 99:99:99.99
Specifies the inaccuracy limit for the node. When the node exceeds
the maximum inaccuracy setting, it attempts to synchronize.
o query attempts
Default: 3 Value: 1-10
Specifies the number of attempts that a node makes to contact a
server before the node considers the server unavailable.
o servers required
Default: 3 (servers) Value: 1-32
1 (clerks)
Specifies the minimum number of servers the specified node must
successfully query for time values before it can synchronize.
o synchronization hold down
Default: 0-00:10:00.0(Clerks) Value: 0-00:00:30.0- 01 00:00:00.00
0-00:02.00.0-(Servers)
Specifies the interval a node must wait to synchronize. Also
specifies synchronization frequency when a node reaches the value
specified by the maximum inaccuracy characteristic.
o time provider present
Default: false Value: True or false
Specifies whether or not the entity used an external time-provider
at the last synchronization. This attribute applies to servers
only.
o time representation version
Specifies the timestamp version (format) used by the installed
DECdts software.
o type
Specifies whether the node is a DECdts server or clerk. The create
command modifies this characteristic.
o wan timeout
Default: 0-00:00:15.000 Value: 0-00:00:01.000-0-00:10:00.000
Specifies the amount of time the node waits for a response to a
WAN synchronization request before sending another request and
declaring a global server to be unavailable. The node sends three
requests before declaring a non-responding global server to be
unavailable.
