Network Time Settings<br />
Overview<br />
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is designed to synchronize computer clocks over a network. It is<br />
capable of achieving synchronization within microseconds, depending upon the synchronization<br />
source <strong>and</strong> the network paths.<br />
TT recommends synchronizing TT Gateways with a Time Server that meets the following<br />
requirements:<br />
• fully compatible with NTP v4+<br />
• accurate within 1 second or less<br />
Note: TT does not recommend using Windows Time Service as it does not guarantee the level of<br />
accuracy that TT requires. For more information about NTP, refer to http://www.ntp.org/.<br />
Note: If Windows Time Service must be used due to network limitations that prevent connecting<br />
to external time sources, contact your TAM.<br />
Tip<br />
Time management is the responsibility of the TT client’s systems administrator. A large time<br />
change made to the operating system clock of a production TT Gateway during trading hours can<br />
cause problems, whether initiated by Windows Time Service, NTP, or even low CMOS batteries.
