Specifications
By pressing the Set Date and Time button, a dialog appears that allows the exact time to be set.
A Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers can optionally be configured to maintain the accuracy
of the system date and time and this will require public Internet access. Enabling this option is
strongly recommended since it ensures the accuracy of the date and time. A typical NTP setup is
shown below.
Note: The time server URL requires the "dns:" prefix
When specifying a URL in CorePlus for the time server, the URL must have the prefix
"dns:".
Once the values are set correctly, we can press the OK button to save the values while we move
on to more steps in CorePlus configuration. Although changed values like this are saved by
CorePlus, they do not become active until the entire saved configuration becomes the current
and active configuration. We will look at how to do this next.
Activating Configuration Changes
To activate any CorePlus configuration changes made so far, we need to select the Save and
Activate option from the Configuration menu (this process is also sometimes referred to as
deploying a configuration).
A dialog is then presented to confirm that the new configuration is to become the running
configuration.
