The Digital Network Architecture (DNA) contains several modules that each relate to a functional area or product. All Digital Distributed Time Service (DECdts) management functions are contained in the DTSS module. The DTSS module has three entities that enable you to synchronize, adjust, and maintain the system clocks in a distributed network.
1 – Subentities
The entity hierarchy for the DTSS module is: Node___DTSS_____DECnet_Global_Server | |_DECnet_Local_Server The DTSS entity is the top-level entity in the DTSS module. The dtss entity provides access to most of the management functions for the DTSS module and the DECdts product, including creating and deleting the software, enabling and disabling the software, setting attributes, adjusting the clock, and forcing synchronizations. The DTSS DECNET GLOBAL SERVER entity provides information about a node's synchronization with one or more servers in the global set. The DTSS DECNET LOCAL SERVER entity provides information about a node's synchronization with one or more servers in the local set.
