Date & Time
The ODU maintains a date and time. The date and time should be synchronized with any
Network Time Protocol (NTP) version 3 compatible server.
During power ‐ up the ODU attempts to configure the initial date and time using an NTP Server.
If the server IP address is not configured or is not reachable, a default time is set.
When configuring the NTP Server IP address, you should also configure the offset from the
Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). If there is no server available, you can either set the date
and time, or you can set it to use the date and time from the managing computer. Note that
manual setting is not recommended since it will be overridden by a reset, power up, or
synchronization with an NTP Server.

To set the date and time:
1. Determine the IP address of the NTP server to be used.
2. Test it for connectivity using the command, for example:
w32tm /stripchart /computer:216.218.192.202
The NTP uses UDP port 123. If a firewall is configured between the ODU
and the NTP Server this port must be opened.
It can take up to 8 minutes for the NTP to synchronize the ODU date and
time.
