I have never specified one. I believe that the router calculates the
clock period based on the offsets it receives from the clock from which
it synchronizes.

If you're using a router as a standalone NTP master with no reference
clock on the network, you could probably adjust this to correct for its
internal drift, although this would involve a lot of trial and error.
