Clock, System Time, and NTP Options
An accurate time setting on the Clock screen is required to ensure proper file timestamps. You can
access the Clock screen by selecting System > Clock from the main menu.
The Select Timezone section and the Select Current Time section of the Clock screen allow you to
set the Timezone, and the Date and Time. You can elect to synchronize the system time on the
device with a remote NTP (Network Time Protocol) server. You can elect to keep the default
servers or enter up to two NTP servers closer to your locale. You can find an available public NTP
servers by searching the Web.
Alerts, Alert Contacts, Alert Settings, SNMP, and SMTP
In the event of a device or an enclosure failure, a quota violation, low-disk space warning, and
other system events requiring your attention, e-mail alerts are sent. The Alerts screen is accessed
by selecting System > Alerts from the main menu.
Contacts
The Contacts tab allows you to specify up to three e-mail addresses where system alerts will be
sent. The ReadyNAS 2100 device has a robust system monitoring feature and sends e-mail alerts if
something appears to be wrong or when a device has failed. Make sure to enter a primary e-mail
address and a backup one if possible.
