Time Settings
The VIP4G can be set to use a local time source, thus keeping time on its own, or it can be
configured to synchronize the date and time via a NTP Server. The options and menus available
will change depending on the current setting of the Date and Time Setting Mode, as seen below.

Network Time Protocol
(NTP) can be used to
synchronize the time and
date or computer systems
with a centralized,
referenced server. This can
help ensure all systems on
a network have the same
time and date.
Date and Time Setting Mode
Select the Date and Time Setting Mode required. If set for ‘Use
Local Time’ the unit will keep its own time and not attempt to
synchronize with a network server. If ‘Synchronize Date And
Time Over Network’ is selected, a NTP server can be defined.
