Date & Time
Use this option to set the time and date used by the Management Card. The
option displays the current settings, and allows you to change those
settings manually, or through a Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server.
Set Manually. Use this option in the Web interface, or Manual in the
control console, to set Date and Time for the Management Card.
Synchronize with Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server. Use this option,
which is called Network Time Protocol (NTP) in the control console, to
have an NTP Server automatically update the Date and Time settings for
the Management Card.
An Apply Local Computer Time to Network Management
Card option, which is available in the Web interface only,
sets these values to match the date and time settings of the
computer you are using to access the Web interface.
In the control console, use the NTP Client option to enable
or disable (the default) the NTP Server updates. In the Web
interface, use the
Set Manually option to disable the
updates.
