Setting the date only possible for time source: quartz.
The most accurate time source available comes from atomic clocks.
Typically, NTP provides accuracies of between 1 and50 milliseconds depending on the time source and network paths.
Incredibly, one time source was offset by a staggering 6 years.
However, it must be noted that in using an internet based time source such as nist. gov or windows.

GPS is now the most popular time source used by time servers.
Using the GPS time source the Solid State Rackmount can track up to 12 satellites with a remote antenna; this can be positioned up to 1,000m away.
A sit is a global timescale, and is not concerned with time zones and daylight saving,UTC allows networks across the world to communicate precisely with the exact same time source.
Attaining the most suitable time source is fundamental in setting up a NTP network.
When using NTP, getting the most accurate source of time allows you to keep your network synchronised- not just together but alsosynchronised to every other device or network that uses that same time source.
However, time servers are only as good as the time source that they rely on and when there is a problem with that source, synchronisation will fail and the problems mentioned above can occur.
Note that because the PPS signal does not specify the time, but merely the start of a second,one must combine the PPS functionality with another time source that provides the full date and time in order to ascertain the time both accurately and precisely.
Atomic clocks are used as the time source for high technologies and applications such as satellite navigation and air traffic control, they are also the source for time signals used by NTP servers to synchronise computer networks.
The other option for digital wall clocks for hospitals, and perhaps more practical, is to connect the clocks on an Ethernet network and use an NTP time server that either receivesthe atomic clock radio signal or utilises GPS as its time source.
Obviously if you are spendingtime getting a network synchronised then the time source would have to be a UTC(Coordinated Universal Time) as this is the global timescale used by computer networks all over the world.
The problem with using the internet for a source of time is that the accuracy of these level 2 time servers can't be authenticated, Because computers require highly accurate,the distance between a client and the time source can lead to big discrepancies.
The 4" 4 digit Ethernet digitalClock can be used to connect to a time source such as a Galleon NTP Time Server in order to receive a accurate time signal which can then be used in business environments to output the correct time. .
Atomic clocks are the basis for the world's global timescale Universal Coordinated Time(UTC)and are the reference that many computer networks use as a time source to distribute amongst its devices using NTP(Network Time Protocol) and a time server.
UTC is available across the internet of course but internet time sources are not only notoriously inaccuratebut using the internet as a time source will leave computer system open to security threats as the source is external to the firewall.
Galleon Systems range of network time servers can synchronize networks with millisecond accuracy and receive an accurate andsecure atomic clock time source from the GPS network(Global Positioning System) or the radio time signal broadcast by national physics laboratories like NPL.
Some will decide to use an Internet based time source although these are not secure as the firewall will require an opening and also many internet sources are either wholly inaccurate or too far away to afford any useful precision.
NTP uses an algorithm(a complex sequence of instructions)to keep time by constantly checking the time source and matching it to the time on its clocks on the network and instructs each device to alter if it becomes out of synchronisation.
NTP servers receive their time source from either a specialist radio transmission from national physics laboratories which broadcast UTC time taken from an atomic clock source or by the GPS network which also relays UTC as a consequence of needing it to pin point locations.
NB- internet time servers are also incapable ofbeing authenticated to allow NTP to establish if the time source is coming from where it claims to be, combined with the problem of ensuring the firewall is open to receive the time requests, can mean that internet time servers present a clear risk to security.
A stratum 0 server is a time source itself such as an atomic clock, a stratum 1 server is the NTP time server whilst a stratum 2 server is a device that receives the time from the time server and stratum 3 servers receive the time signal via a stratum 2 server.
While for many home users this will save them the hassle of setting and correcting their clock as it drifts, for business users it may be problematic as internet time sources are not secure andreceiving a time source through the UDP port on the firewall could lead to security breaches and as Internet time sources can't be authenticated by NTP(Network Time Protocol) the signals can be hijacked by malicious users.
Any external time source will require a port to be left open in the firewall to allow the time information packets through and this opening is too easy a way to exploit a network which can become victim to a DDOS attack(Distributed Denial of Service) or even allow malicious programmes through to take control of the machines themselves.
There are othersecurity issues too with using the internet as a time source as any communication with an internet time source is going to require the TCP/IP port to be left open in the firewall this could also be manipulated by malicious users.
