Objective
The system's purpose is to
provide accurate and distributed time servers to synchronize the clocks
of computers connected to the Ateneo network. The University can
therefore follow a single time that is synchronized with international
reference clocks.
General Description
In cooperation
with the Manila Observatory, the CNG maintains a dedicated time server
that is synchronized by GPS satellite signals. Two other computers are
synchronized through the Internet and provide redundancy.
These three servers synchronize the times of the University's core
servers and the gateways located in all the major local area networks on
campus. A computer connected to one of these networks can get
synchronization from its corresponding gateway.
Synchronizing
to Ateneo de Manila Network Time
In order for a computer to synchronize its clock to Ateneo Network
Time, a client program needs to be installed and configured.
Instructions on configuring the client program can be found
here.
