Which time servers to use?¶

For closest synchronisation with Aurionoco-connected systems use: ntp1.iciti.av, ntp2.iciti.av, ntp3.iciti.av and ntp4.iciti.av

They should be used in conjunction with Aurinoco's DNS service Which_DNS_servers_to_use

There is a known issue synchronising from the Aurinoco network to time servers on the Internet. For this reason using Aurinoco's time servers is especially recommended.

How to set Time servers?¶

• Android: not required; normally synchronised from cell phone network
• Apple IOS: not required; normally synchronised from cell phone network
• Apple Mac OSX: https://developers.google.com/time/guides
• Linux
  • systemd: edit /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf and, in the [Time] section, create line
    

    Servers=ntp1.iciti.av ntp2.iciti.av ntp3.iciti.av ntp4.iciti.av
    

• Windows: https://developers.google.com/time/guides

How to test Time servers?¶

Comparing the device's time with wall clock time is a good enough test for general purposes.

For a more precise test

• Android: TBC
• Apple IOS: TBC
• Apple Mac OSX: TBC
• Linux
  • systemd: as root, run
    

    systemctl status systemd-timesyncd.service
    

    The output should include a line like
    

    Status: "Synchronized to time server for the first time 192.168.8.15:123 (ntp1.iciti.av)." 
    

• Windows: TBC
