Echelon IP-852 Channel - Manual (Page 37)

IP-852 Channel User’s Guide 29
If the IP-852 Configuration Server is not on a domain, you should keep this check
box selected because your computer’s clock may drift too much as a result of
Windows synchronizing to the system clock infrequently (once per week) by default.
The Maximum Time Correction and Update Every properties only apply if the
Run SNTP Client on Configuration Server check box is selected. The IP-852
device SNTP options are self-adjusting and cannot be configured.

Specifying SNTP Servers for a Channel or Device
All channels default to the SNTP server specified for the system as described above, and
all devices default to the SNTP server specified for the channel (for example, the System
SNTP Server if the Channel SNTP server is not changed). Each channel and device in
the network can be configured to synchronize to a different SNTP time server.
To specify SNTP servers for a channel or device, follow these steps:
1. Select the channel or device in the main dialog of the IP-852 Configuration Server,
and then right-click the channel or device and click Properties on the shortcut
menu (or double-click the desired channel or device). Click the SNTP tab.
2. Clear the Use Channel Default or Use System Default check box.
3. Enter the IP addresses or host names of the SNTP servers as shown in Figure 3.5.
Leave the default port numbers of 123.
