5. Start the NTPD service to synchronize system time with the NTP service.
/etc/init.d/sysntpd start
The system may require a restart for the NTP service to fully initialize. In this case, use the following
command:
/etc/init.d/sysntpd restart
6. To test the process, measure the difference between the system time and the NTP service time using
the following command:
ntpd -wqp pool.ntp.org
Check the offset value, which is listed in seconds.
Results

System
System This menu contains basic system properties. This
is where the host name can be configured. For time
synchronization settings, see the software stack
manual. The synchronization can be handled
through an NTP server, the GPS antenna, or through
the API. The default time synchronization mode is
through the GPS antenna - this is recommended
because this is the most reliable and accurate
option.
