3. Highlight the desired time server in the list, and click on the , or
buttons to modify or delete an existing time server.
NOTE: The only editable field for a predefined time server is Enabled, but if the
time server was user created, then the Name, Host Name/IP Address, and
Enabled fields can be changed.
The Last Successful Sync and Last Successful Attempt fields are read
only. The last successful sync represents the date/time that the clock time
was actually synced (met parameters), while the last successful attempt
represents when the actual connection attempt was successful.
4. Click on the button to create a user defined time server, and the Time
Server Settings screen will appear (see Figure 4-13). Enter the Name of the
time server (maximum length is 20 characters).
NOTE: The acceptable characters for a Time Server name are ‘a-z’ upper and
lowercase, ‘0-9’, (-) dash, (_) underscore, and (*) asterisk.
Look – This is where you can setup the parameters to use an internal Time
Server. Also, when you create a new Time Server it will automatically be placed
at the top of the list in position 1. This order is important because the first Time
Server successfully used sets the time.

settings. This tests whether the connection is good or bad (i.e., wrong host
name/IP address).
