Synchronize via
Select one of the following:
Broadcast from NTP Server:
Enables the SLC console manager to accept
time information periodically transmitted by the NTP server. This is the default
if you enable NTP.
Poll NTP Server:
Enables the SLC unit to query the NTP Server for the
correct time. If you select this option, complete one of the following:
Local:
Select this option if the NTP servers are on a local network, and
enter the IP address of up to three NTP servers. This is the default, and it is
highly recommended.
Public:
Select this option if you want to use a public NTP server, and select
the address of the NTP server from the drop-down list. This is not
recommended because of the high load on many public NTP servers. All
servers in the drop-down list are stratum-2 servers. (See
for
more information.) Each public NTP server has its own usage rules --please
refer to the appropriate web site before using one. Our listing them here is
to provide easy configuration but does not indicate any permission for use.
