# Clock Sync Interval

Periodically sends the EMS server’s Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time to clients. This allows EMS clients to update their offset.

The time specified, in seconds, determines the interval at which clock sync commands are sent from the server to its clients.

When omitted or zero, the EMS server sends the offset time only when the EMS client connects to the server. If clock sync interval is -1, the offset is never sent, not even on connect. Clients do not adjust their time values to match the server time.

## Classic Configuration

The clock sync interval is set using the clock_sync_interval property in the tibemsd.conf file:

    clock_sync_interval = seconds

## Administration

This property cannot be set using the administration tool.
