Configure a time server
Pearl Nano uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server from the National Research Council of Canada
by default. You can change to a different time server using the Admin panel. Contact your system
administrator for the time synchronization server settings you should use.
The following table lists the time server types that Pearl Nano supports.
Table 20 Supported time server types
Label Description/Options
NTP
Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers are used to synchronize system time.
Many NTP servers are available on the Internet. All you need is the IP address
of the NTP server and network access to the server to use that as the time
synchronization source for Pearl Nano. For more information about NTP and
to find NTP servers, refer to
http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/WebHome .
A local Windows NTP server is not supported.
PTP v1
The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is used for clock synchronization over the
Internet. It has clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond range, making it more
granular than NTP.
