Enabling network time servers

Important:
Avaya strongly recommends that you enable Network Time Protocol (NTP) and
configure at least one network time server. If a network time server is not used the
Date/Time settings on the server must be reset regularly, at least monthly, using
the System Management Interface. The network time strategy is determined by
the network administrator.
With NTP, you can specify one, two, or three network time servers to provide the accurate time
of day data to the clocks on the servers. The network time servers, in turn, get their source
timing from one of several highly accurate time services that are available on the Internet.
To use a network time server, the NTP service must be enabled. The Avaya Installation Wizard
prompts you to enable the NTP service. If you do not use the Installation Wizard, use the
Configure Server function on the System Management Interface to configure the network time
servers.
1. From the Installation menu of the System Management Interface, click Configure
Server .
2. On the Review Notices page and the Backup Up Data page, click Continue .
3. On the "Specify how you want to use this wizard" page, select Configure individual
services and then click Continue .
4. In the menu on the left side of the Configure Server page, click Configure Timer Server.
5. Enter the NTS information on the Configure Time Server screen and click Change.
6. On the main menu, under Security, click Firewall .
7. In the "Output from Server" column, select ntp 123/udp .
