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.
