4. To synchronize the time with the NTP server, select Synchronize with NTP server.
Selecting this option enables a connection with a time server, available on either
the company's internal network or the Web. This server communicates GMT
time.
S Enter the IP address or host name of the time server.
S Select the time zone for your geographic area from the list.
S European Economic Community (EEC) countries only. Select European Daylight
Savings Time. The time automatically adjusts to summer and winter time
changes.
The time is updated every five hours to minimize any time drift. After two
attempts, if the NTP server is not accessible, the card shifts to manual mode.
The card uses the NTP protocol (UDP 123 port). The firewall must be set to
transmit queries outside the intranet. If the timer server fails, an error message
displays at the top of the page.
5. Click Save to connect with the server and set the date and time.
NOTE After startup, if the card is in manual mode, or if no NTP server was reached, the card initializes at
00:00
01/01/1970.
NOTE If the card is installed in a UPS that supports time-stamping, the card's time is automatically
synchronized with that of the UPS.
