Meinberg do not supply the software you are using, they only supply the
installer. The software is owned by the University of Delaware.

This is misleading. The local system clock WILL be used as a backup
(and to interpolate between polls). 127.127.1.1 should only be used if
the bit in parentheses really is true. Sometimes setting this can
prevent ntpd locking onto a real server.

With classless routing, this could be a host, but it is unlikely.

What does /24 mean?

Mis-spelled keyword.

The mistake most people make is setting minpoll too low. This is too high.

ntpd hasn't been up long enough, or has had a recent time step.
