Synchronize a system with a public NTP server on Swiss time

Description

This tests synchronization on Swiss time between your test system and external system that serves as an NTP server. 

Instructions

To run this test, follow these steps:

1. Configure your system to synchronize time with a public NTP server on the Swiss time.
2. Use a web browser to find a web server that will display the current Swiss time.
   • https://time.is/fr/Zurich,_Zurich
   • Or https://www.time.gov that is a US server, Time zone must be adapted (UTC+1 in winter time, UTC+2 summer time).
   • Both are synchronized with atomic clocks
3. Execute a “clock” program on your host system that shows the time on your system.
   • On a Windows system, this can be done by selecting the “time” in the lower right tray.
   • On a Unix system: xclock –digital –update 1
4. Perform a screen capture that shows both the web browser display and your system clock. These should show the same time.
   
   1. Name the screen capture <system>_CT_Time_Synchro_NTP.<ext> where 
      • system is the name of your system as found in the registration tools
      • ext is the proper file extension (jpg, png etc.)
   2. Upload this screen capture into Gazelle as the test results file.
5. Mark the test "to be verified". Be ready to show in live the synchronization to a monitor.

Evaluation

1. Correct time synchronization on the screen capture.
2. The monitor observes your synchronization. It must have less than one second delay.
