Network
Time
Resource
The default entry for the
network time resource is an
internet timeserver - (requires
internet access through NTP
port 123).
It is usually better practice to
use a local time server within
your network. ManageUPS
will accept a local NTP server
from the DHCP server
automatically if it is offered.
If the NTP Server 1 is an internet time server, ask your network administrator for the
address of the timeserver(s) on the network ManageUPS will be connected to.
If no NTP server can be reached by ManageUPS it will start its clock and calendar
reference at:
“Midnight, 1 January 2000 GMT".
If this occurs, ManageUPS will retry to access the NTP server once every 5 minutes
until a connection is established ⎯ unless NTP is "disabled" in the FREQUENCY
control.
Frequency: How often ManageUPS will synchronize with the NTP
Server.
Time Zone: Log entries are stored using GMT. Select the time zone
to be used for displaying data log entries in the WEB
interface.
NTP Server: The NTP server to be used to obtain the time. This can
be entered using the local DNS name or as an IP
address.
Try this NTP Server First Use this control to identify the primary NTP server for
ManageUPS to use.
Leave this control empty to identify 2
nd
and 3
rd
NTP
servers.
