4.9.7 NTP Configuration
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time
of a computer client or server to another server or reference time
source, such as a radio or satellite receiver or modem. It provides
accuracies typically within a millisecond on LANs and up to a few
tens of milliseconds on WANs relative to Coordinated Universal
Time (UTC) via a Global Positioning Service (GPS) receiver, for
example:
Note:
NTP feature works through onboard Ethernet port. So
you must make sure that you have connected onboard
Ethernet port.
• NTP Sever Address
The most important factor in providing accurate, reliable time
is the selection of NTP servers to be used in the configuration
file. Typical NTP configurations utilize multiple redundant serv -
ers and diverse network paths in order to achieve high accura-
cy and reliability. Our NTP configuration supports two existing
public NTP synchronization subnets.
• Time Zone
Time Zone conveniently runs in the system tray and allows
you to easily view the date and time in various locations
around the world. You can also quickly and easily add your
own personal locations to customize time zone the way you
want.
