location's time zone. The Default Time Zone is displayed in (parentheses). If assigned to a location, the Default time zone is the
location's time zone.
NTP Server 1 & 2
- enter the IP Address(es) or set to Default. Default indicates either set to the account's NTP Servers or its assigned
location's NTP Servers. Use of external NTP Servers requires that port 123 is open to UDP traffic to allow a Message Board to connect
to an external server.
Primex recommends using the facility's designated NTP Servers, and set two valid NTP Servers to ensure a reasonable level of accuracy
can be maintained. Use of a Domain name for the NTP Server, such as time.nist.gov, requires Domain Name resolution (DNS).
