<h4>Synopsis</h4>
|
|
<p>Address: 127.127.23.<i>u</i><br>
|
|
Reference ID: <tt>PTB</tt><br>
|
|
Driver ID: <tt>ACTS_PTB</tt><br>
|
|
Serial Port: <tt>/dev/ptb<i>u</i></tt>; 1200 baud, 8-bits, no parity<br>
|
|
Requires: <tt>/usr/include/sys/termios.h</tt> header file with modem control</p>
|
|
<h4>Description</h4>
|
|
<p>This driver supports the PTB Automated Computer Time Service (ACTS) and it is a modified version of the NIST ACTS driver so see it for more informations..</p>
|
|
<p>It periodically dials a prespecified telephone number, receives the PTB timecode data and calculates the local clock correction. It designed primarily for use when neither a radio clock nor connectivity to Internet time servers is available. For the best accuracy, the individual telephone line/modem delay needs to be calibrated using outside sources.</p>
|
|
<p>The only change between this driver and the NIST one is the data format. Infact PTB data format is the following:</p>

<h4>Additional Information</h4>
|
|
<p>A keyword in the ntp.conf file permits a direct connection to a serial port of source of time like IEN CTD signal. It is sufficient to use the string DIRECT in place of the phone number.</p>
