3.7 SNTP Client Configuration
Use the SNTP Client Configuration screen to configure the 9145E to use a primary and
secondary SNTP Server to automatically set the date and time. An accurate date and time in the
9145E 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 9145E to synchronize the system
date and time to an SNTP server.
• The time and date can be set manually. Refer to “Set Date and Time” on page 74 for
information to set the date and time manually.
To configure SNTP, select SNTP Client Configuration (7) from the System Configuration menu
and press Enter. The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) Client Configuration screen (Figure
3-19) opens.
On the SNTP client Configuration screen, type the number of the SNTP setting to change and
then press Enter.
Use the Space Bar to cycle through predetermined settings, and press Enter.
1. SNTP Client UTC Offset (hours) - Set the difference, in hours, between the local time of
the 9145E and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is similar to Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT); Range is -12 to 12
2. SNTP Client Observe DST - Enables/Disables Daylight Savings Time (Summer Time)
and the date and time it starts and ends.
