2.10.4 System Time
• Setting up the Time
Time is required for the controller to record events and to schedule maintenance tasks. There are two time modes for
selection, static and NTP settings.
For network settings, do the following:
1. Select System Management > Time from the main menu.
2. From the Time Mode drop-down menu, select either static or NTP.
• If you select the static mode, specify the date and time. The data and time is set in form as MM/DD/YY and hh/mm.
• If you select the NTP mode, specify the IP address or the domain name of the NTP server. The NTP server
automatically synchronizes the controller clock at 23:59 every day.
3. Click Apply, and the settings are effective immediately.
• Setting up the Time-Zone
1. Select System Management > Time from the main menu.
2. From the Time-Zone Mode drop-down menu, select location of country.
3. From the DST(Daylight saving time) Status Mode drop-down menu, select On/Off(default).
4. Click Apply, and the settings are effective immediately.
2.10.5 Security control
The settings in the Security page allows you to change the password and login related settings.
• User setting
To change the password of a specified user, do the following:
1. Specify either Administrator or User from the Specified User drop-down menu.
2. Check the “Change Password” checkbox, and a pull-down menu appears. Fill in the passwords in each field.
3. If you want to enable or disable password checking before login, specify the options from the Password Check drop-
down menu.
• Global Setting
To enable or disable the auto logout function, select either On or Off from the Auto Logout drop-down menu. By default,
the auto logout time is 10 minutes.
Set the Password Reminding Mail option to On to enable the controller to send out a password reminding email when
users forget their password. An email account is also required.
• SSL Setting
A secure connection is always required to login to the GUI; therefore, ‘SSL Forced’ is enabled by default and users are
forced to connect to the system via HTTPS.
To disable forced SSL encryption, select either On or Off from the SSL Forced drop-down menu.
When all the settings are complete, click Apply to make them effective immediately.
Note
If the NTP server is located outside your LAN, make sure the gateway and domain name server is
configured properly for the RAID controller to conect to the NTP server.
