Network Time Protocol
The Broadmore CPU system clock provides the time and date stamp used for system
logs, events, and audit trails. A SuperUser must set the system clock either manually
after powering up the Broadmore (see
“System Clock” on page 10-7 ) or configure the
Broadmore to use a network time source as described below. The Broadmore uses
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP), which is an Internet standard for periodically
synchronizing the system clocks connected to an IP network.
If the clock uses the NTP source, the system clock will be automatically synchronized
to the NTP source when power is reapplied to the Broadmore.
Select NTP from the Administration menu. Then set the following parameters to the
desired values. When finished, press Escape and select Yes to accept the changes.
