3.7 SNTP Client Configuration

Use the SNTP Client Configuration screen to configure the 9145EMP to use a primary and
secondary SNTP Server to automatically set the date and time. An accurate date and time in the
9145EMP 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 9145EMP to synchronize the sys-

tem date and time to an SNTP server.

The time and date can be set manually. See “Set Date and Time” on page 86 for more

information.

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
3-21
) opens.

On the SNTP client Configuration screen, type the number of the SNTP setting to change and
then press Enter.

Press the Space bar to view settings, and press Enter.
