The maximum poll interval defaults to 10 (1024 s), but can be increased by the maxpoll option to an upper limit of 17 (36 hr). The minimum poll interval defaults to 6 (64 s), but can be decreased by the minpoll option to a lower limit of 3 (8 s). Additional information about this option is on the Poll Program page. mode option Pass the option to a reference clock driver, where option is an integer in the range from 0 to 255, inclusive. This option is valid only with type r addresses.
