Automatically Acquiring the Time Settings through NTP

To automatically acquire the time settings from a NTP server, follow these steps:

Step 1

Select

System Configuration > Time

Step 2

In the System Clock Source area, click

Network Time Protocol (NTP)

Step 3

Configure the following parameters:

•

NTP Server (1 through 4)/IPv4/IPv6 Address/Name

—

Specify the IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or host name

of a NTP server. A default NTP server is listed.

A host name can consist of one or more labels, which are sets of up to 63 alphanumeric characters. If a host name
includes multiple labels, each is separated by a period (.). The entire series of labels and periods can be up to 253
characters long.

•

Time Zone

—

Select the time zone for your location.

•

Adjust for Daylight Saving Time

—

Check to enable and configure the following fields:

◦

Starts

—
