Accurate System timing is important for the proper operation of the Sonus SBC 1000/2000
. The system time may be sourced from different places depending upon the specific topology where the
Sonus SBC 1000/2000 is is deployed. In some cases the
Sonus SBC 1000/2000 itself itself may serve as a time source for the topology. In such cases, the
Sonus SBC 1000/2000 may may use its own independent internal clock, or it may be synchronized with a network time source through Network Time Protocol (NTP). The NTP source may be a public source such as
NTP.org or
NIST, or a private source such as an internal enterprise time server.
The Sonus SBC 1000/2000 allows
allows you to configure a maximum of two NTP time servers from which to source time and date information.
