ntp

[Ken]

Anyone know the secret to running the NTP Client on Ubiquiti NanoStation or Rocket? I checked the NTP box.

 

I can ping  

0.ubnt.pool.ntp.org 

 from my PC here on the network, but after running overnight, the wireless units still do not have the right time in log file entries.

 

I checked the “startup date” box and that got the right day set, but the time started at zero and has just been running as a timer since then.

 

Tnx

Ken, KE2N

Which  NTP server is it trying to talk to?

Have you tired to ssh into the system and pinged from it.  A lack of DNS or it having trouble figuring out how to reach the internet will create a lot of problems

Thanks

Continuing a long tradition of answering my own questions:

I guess that Ubiquiti uses the default port 123 for NTP.

My router already routes that port to one of my Asterisk Linux boxes.

 

I changed the 0.ubnt.pool.ntp.org  (the default server for Ubiquiti)

 

to the IP of that Linux box and now the time is working. 

I had to do the same thing for my other 4 Linux boxes. One box serves as the master for all the others.

 

BTW - Ubiquiti does not know about daylight savings time.  I decided to use GMT.

 

Regards

Ken

one added comment - I see now that the DNS field of the NS5 and M5 configuration is blank (I am using static IP).

 

I guess if I had a DNS entry the the FQDN address might work - with or without the port passthrough.

A lot is happening, I have another node up in Frederick with a NanoBeam
and a sector dish.
I'll be driving the van around testing access within Frederick, I'm very
interested in the real world access with out towers inside the city.

The van now has a computer, NanoBeam, Rocket Dish, Rocket with Omni, HF,
VHF and UHF radios, NTS, GransdStream Server and a 3G extender.

This will be used for the field test, range tests and demonstrations. So
if you need a portable 42 foot mast to use in testing send me an email.
