3.7 SNTP Client Configuration

The customer can use the SNTP Client Configuration screen to configure the 9145 to use a pri-
mary and secondary SNTP Server for setting date and time. An accurate date and time in the
9145 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.

1. For accuracy within a large network, you can set up the 9145 to synchronize the system

date and time to an SNTP server. When the 9145 contacts the SNTP server to synchro-
nize the time, the event appears in the System Log, whether or not the SNTP server
responds.

2. If you choose to not use SNTP to maintain the date and time, or do not have access to the

Internet or a SNTP server, you can manually set the date and time on the 9145. Refer-
ence Chapter 7, Utilities for procedures for setting the date and time manually.

From the System Configuration menu, type 7 and press <Enter>. The Simple Network Time Pro-
tocol (

SNTP)

Client Configuration screen (see Figure 3-13) opens. On the

SNTP

Client Config-

uration screen, type the number of the SNTP setting you wish to change, then press <Enter>.
Use <Backspace> to remove any existing entry, and type in the new information, or use <Space>
to toggle through predetermined settings, and press <Enter>.

SNTP Client UTP Offset (hours) - Set the difference, in hours, between this 9145 and Coor-
