NTP Servers
You can configure one or more NTP (Network Time Protocol) servers to allow clock
synchronization with all computers on the same network as the NX300. To view the AUI’s
NTP
Servers
page (see Figure 2.63 ), select
NTP Servers
from the
User Settings
options. There are several
functions available on this page - enabling NTP, monitoring NTP server status and managing servers.
NOTE:
The accuracy of the NTP synchronization is related to the distance to the server. For this
reason, Nautel recommends that you choose servers in the same country as the equipment. If this is
not possible, attempt to get servers from the same continent.
