3. Click the Save button.

WARNING: The time zone set for the ER 3.0 should be the

same one set for each Web access logging device to be used by
the ER 3.0. These “like” settings ensure consistency when
tracking the logging times of all users on the network.

Specify Network Time Protocol Servers

IP addresses of servers running Network Time Protocol
(NTP) software are entered in the Server fields. NTP is a time
synchronization system for computer clocks throughout the
Internet. Your ER 3.0 Server will use the actual time from
clocks at the IP addresses you’ve specified.

1. Enter or edit an IP address in each appropriate field:

• In the Server 1 field, enter the IP address of the primary

NTP server to be used for clock settings on your Server.

• In the Server 2 field, enter the IP address of the second-

ary NTP server. The time from this server will be used by
your Server if the IP address for the primary server fails
to be accessed by your Server.

• In the Server 3 field, enter the IP address of the tertiary

NTP server. The time from this server will be used by
your Server if the IP addresses for the primary and
secondary servers fail to be accessed by your Server.

2. Click the Save button to save your entries.

NOTE: When you click the Save button, the IP addresses

you entered are saved, but the time on your Server will not be
synchronized with the NTP servers until you click the NTP Update
button.
