OVERVIEW OF SERVICE
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) service allows devices on the Drexel network to set and synchronize their real-time clock with a high degree of accuracy.
DESCRIPTION & FEATURES
Drexel's Network Time Service is typically used by Lab Managers and System Administrators for specialized network devices connected to the Drexel network.
Please note, it's not necessary to follow these instructions to keep your time up-to-date with Mac and Windows computers or for mobile phones and tablets. On most consumer products the real-time clock synchronization is managed automatically by the operating system.
