IV-5. NTP Server Settings

During the schedule update, the MEDIAEDGE server and storage type playback clients try to download

the contents from the FTP server by an approximate update completion time that is specified in the

download.txt file. The approximate update completion time is the time of the DCM server, but because

the download itself is performed by the MEDIAEDGE server and the storage type playback clients, they

must be set to the same time as the DCM server. They must also be set to the same time zone.

If you are not using an NTP server, adjust the time manually at regular intervals to prevent a large time

divergence from occurring. To adjust the time automatically using the NTP server, check the following

items.

IV-5-1. NTP server settings

This section describes how to set the NTP server. DCM ver.1.70 and later automatically configure the

NTP server settings and the following steps are unnecessary.

[1] Change the following registry values.

(1) [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w32time\Config]

“AnnounceFlags”=dword:00000005

(2) [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w32time\TimeProviders\NtpServer]

“Enabled”=dword:00000001

[2] From the [Start] menu, open [Control Panel]. Next, double-click [Administrative Tools], and then

double-click [Services].

=> [Services] opens.

[3] Restart the [Windows Time] service.

IV-5-2. NTP client settings

This section describes how to configure the NTP client of a computer where the MEDIAEDGE server or

SWT is installed.

[1] Open [Date and Time] properties.

[2] Click [Internet Time], and then click [Change settings].

[3] Select the [Synchronize with an Internet time server] check box, and enter the name or IP address of

the NTP server computer in [Server].

[4] Click [Update now], and after confirming that time synchronization can be performed, click [OK].

[5] Close [Date and Time] properties.

For details on how to configure the NTP client of hardware playback clients such as STB and HDMA, see

the Web Console settings in the manual for each product.
