N525 Ethernet Termination Service Unit 3-21
Manage the Date and Time
An accurate date and time in the N525 assures accuracy for events listed in the System Log
and for traps and alarms sent to the system administrator. You can choose either of two
methods for setting the date and time, depending on your access to an external network and
your need for accuracy.
1. For accuracy within a large network, you can set up the N525 to synchronize the system
date and time to an SNTP server. When the N525 contacts the SNTP server to
synchronize the time, the event appears in the System Log, whether or not the SNTP
server responds.
2. If you choose to not use SNTP to maintain the date and time, or do not have access to
the Internet or a SNTP server, you can manually set the date and time on the N525.
To set up synchronization with SNTP, follow these steps:
1. At the System Configuration Menu, type [ 7 ], "SNTP Client Configuration" and press
<Enter>.
2. At the SNTP Client Configuration screen, type the number for a parameter and press
<Enter>, then follow the prompts on the screen.
