Master and Back-Up Time Servers DV 11.3

What benefit is there of having a master and a back-up? At this moment we have only the master, and it is the Application station.

  • If your master server is down (Application station reboot, failure, etc.)  then the backup will be used to obtain time from.
     
    Generally, you would have a GPS time server somewhere in your network from which these master/backup time servers can obtain accurate time from.  Or a GPS time server can be directly connected to the DV network.
     
    Many options exist.
