6.8.6 NTP Configuration
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time
of a computer client or server to another server or reference time
source, such as a radio or satellite receiver or modem. It provides
accuracies typically within a millisecond on LANs and up to a few
tens of milliseconds on WANs relative to Coordinated Universal
Time (UTC) via a Global Positioning Service (GPS) receiver, for
example:
• NTP Sever Address
The most important factor in providing accurate, reliable time is
the selection of NTP servers to be used in the configuration file.
Typical NTP configurations utilize multiple redundant servers and
diverse network paths in order to achieve high accuracy and re-
liability. Our NTP configuration supports two existing public NTP
synchronization subnets.
• Time Zone
Time Zone conveniently runs in the system tray and allows you
to easily view the date and time in various locations around the
world. You can also quickly and easily add your own personal
locations to customize time zone the way you want.
• Automatic Daylight Saving
Automatic Daylight Saving will normally attempt to automati-
cally adjust the system clock for daylight saving changes based
on the computer time zone. This tweak allows you to disable the
automatic adjustment.
