  External Time Source (ETS) ID. STP timing mode can have the
  following ETS:
  * CNTP - NTP (Network Timing Protocol) without PPS (Pulse Per

  * CNTX - NTP without PPS via secondary
  * PPSN - NTP with PPS
  * PPSX - NTP with PPS via secondary
  * CPTP - PTP (Precision Time Protocol) without PPS
  * CPTX - PTP without PPS via secondary
  * PPPS - PTP with PPS
  * PPPX - PTP with PPS via secondary
  * CMAN - Console manually set time
  * PRTF - PRT Update Failure
  * UNIN - Uninitialized. PRT not set
  * MRGE - Merging with another Stratum 1
  * DNTP - Direct attachment using NTP
  * DPTP - Direct attachment using PTP
  * zzzz - ETS ID is not valid
  * **** - The ETS ID was unavailable at the time of the command
  
  p - ETS level of timing precision.
  * 1 = lowest level of ETS timing precision. IBM highly
        recommends to change to a higher level of ETS timing
        precision like NTP or PTP
  * 2 = This level of ETS timing precision is acceptable, but it
        does not take advantage of the PPS (Pulse Per Second)
        signal to achieve an even higher level of timing
        precision. Financial and banking institutions are
        recommended to change to a higher level of timing
        precision
  * 3 = current highest level of ETS timing precision. This level
        utilizes the PPS (Pulse Per Second) signal
  * U = the ETS has an unknown level of timing precision

  optional text
  One or more of the following lines are issued:
  ...
  
  If one of the three server type lines was issued, then one (or
  two) of these lines might be issued.
  [THIS STP NETWORK HAS NO BACKUP TIME SERVER]
  [THIS STP NETWORK HAS NO SERVER TO ACT AS ARBITER]
  
  This optional line is only issued on a Primary S1 or Alternate
  S1.
  [THERE IS ONLY ONE LINK BETWEEN THE PREFERRED AND BACKUP TIME
  SERVER]
  
  If the ETS is one of the PTP ETS IDs, then the following
  optional line will be issued:
  [PTP Grandmaster ID = xxxxxx.xxxx.xxxxxx]
  where xxxxxx.xxxx.xxxxxx is a unique clock identifier for the
    PTP Grandmaster ID. It is constructed from the clock device's
    MAC address, and it is also displayed on the STP panels on
    the SE/HMC.
