6.8.5 NTP Configuration (Ethernet Port Support)
The “Network Time Protocol (NTP)” is used to synchronize the time of a computer client or
server to another server or reference time source, such as a radio or satellite receiver or
modem. It provides accuracies typically within a millisecond on LANs and up to a few tens of
milliseconds on WANs relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) via a Global Positioning
Service (GPS) receiver, for example:
•
NTP Sever Address
The most important factor in providing accurate, reliable time is the selection of NTP servers
to be used in the configuration file. Typical NTP configurations utilize multiple redundant
servers and diverse network paths in order to achieve high accuracy and reliability. Our NTP
configuration supports two existing public NTP synchronization subnets.
•
Time Zone
The "Time Zone" conveniently runs in the system tray and allows you to view the date and
