There are two ways to configure NTP:
•
Use a DHCP server to set the NTP server address.
• Specify an NTP server IP address for time synchronization.
DHCP
To use a DHCP server to synchronize time
• Under NTP Settings , select the DHCP check box.
The camera will try to use your DHCP server to set the NTP server address. Contact your
local network administrator to confirm that your DHCP server has either a) installed and
enabled the NTP server in your workstation, or b) configured the DHCP server to send
NTP server address(es) to clients (most cases).
NTP Server
There are two types of NTP servers you can use to synchronize time: a public NTP server or a
local NTP server.
To use a public NTP server to synchronize time
1. Search online for a public NTP server IP
address.
2. Enter the IP address of the public NTP server
in the NTP Server field under NTP Settings .
Note Before using a public NTP server, contact your local network administrator to
ensure that your network settings and firewall will not block the server.
To use a local NTP server to synchronize time
• Enter the IP address of your local NTP server in the NTP Server field under NTP Settings .
• Alternatively, install the Meinberg Network Time Protocol software included on the
installation DVD that was shipped with your camera. The software synchronizes your
computer clock with an external time source (typically another computer running an NTP
server) and can also set up your computer as an NTP server from which other computers
can synchronize.
