View Device Information
The Device Description Report shows the current information, including the device type, serial
number, hardware and software version information, and time since last system restart (system up-
time) for the 9151. To access the Device Description Report, follow these steps:
1. From the Main menu, type 4 , "Reports," and press <Enter>.

3. To return to the Main Menu, press <Esc>.
Manage the Date and Time
An accurate date and time in the 9151 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.
• For accuracy within a large network, you can set up the 9151 to synchronize the system date and
time to an SNTP server. When the 9151 contacts the SNTP server to synchronize the time, the
event appears in the System Log, whether or not the SNTP server responds.
• If you choose to not use SNTP to maintain the date and time, or do not have access to the Internet
and an SNTP server, you can set it directly at the 9151.
To set up synchronization with SNTP, follow these steps:
1. At the System menu, type 10 , "SNTP Configuration" and press <Enter>.
