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 67 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.
Figure 3-19 SNTP Client Configuration Screen
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.
3. SNTP Client Sync Interval (minutes) - Set how often, in minutes, that the 9145E tries to
synchronize its time to the SNTP server; Range is 0 (attempt to synchronize at bootup, only) to
1440 (once daily)
