Setting the Date and Time

NOTE All selections are automatically converted to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

To set the date and time:

1.

From the card’s Web page, click the Date/Time link from the menu
bar.

The default is to synchronize the date and time from the PC clock.

2.

To synchronize the card with Network Time Protocol servers, select
Synchronize with NTP server(s) and type the IP addresses or host
names. You can synchronize the card with up to three NTP servers.

The NTP status is indicated in parentheses:

S

Not running – Indicates that NTP is not running.

S

Started, not synchronized – Indicates that NTP is running, but is not
yet synchronized with an NTP server or controlling the local
clock.

S

Synchronizing with NTP server – Indicates that NTP has
synchronized with the local clock, but is not yet synchronized
with an NTP server.

S

Synchronized to XX, NTP stratum YY – Indicates that the card is
synchronized with an NTP server at IP address XX that is
operating at NTP Stratum YY.

NOTE When using host names, verify that the IP address of your network DNS Server is
configured (see “Network Configuration” on page 16).

NOTE When NTP status is Synchronized and there is a large discrepancy between the
PXGX Series 1000 Card time and the actual time, it may take 5–30 minutes for NTP to reset
the card to the proper time.

3.

To set the time manually, select Set date/time manually and use the
pull-down menus to select the local date in mm/dd/yyyy format and
the local time in hh/mm/ss format.
