Description

The alarm is sent when the connection to the NTP server is lost. Cleared when the connection is reestablished. Unset time (because of no connection to NTP server) may result with functionality degradation and failure in device. If the device receives no response from the NTP server, it polls the NTP server for 10 minutes for a response. If there is still no response after this duration, the device declares the NTP server as unavailable, by sending this alarm. The failed response could be due to incorrect configuration.
