Configuring the Timing Settings
If you are installing the NSS within the Linksys One environment, the NSS time is automatically set
via the Linksys NTP server.
When you first configure the NSS, ensure that the NSS has successfully synchronized the time with
the NTP server. If the synchronization failed, the following occurs:
• An error message stating "Could not synchronize with NTP server(s)" appears in the
NTP
Configuration
page.
• The system alert message "Could not synchronize with NTP server(s)" appears in the
System
Status
page.
• If the SNMP traps are configured, an SNMP trap message is sent.
To configure the time settings for the NSS:
1. From the
Manager Menu
, click
Admin
Time.
The
NTP Configuration
page appears.
2. To use an NTP server to maintain the NSS time, click
Automatically (via NTP)
. To assign the time
manually, skip to step 4.
3. If your DHCP server is configured to provide NTP settings, then select "Assign automatically via
DHCP". If not, you must manually configure the NTP settings. In the
NTP Server
fields, enter the
IP address or hostname for the NTP servers you wish to synchronize. Note that the settings in
these fields are also be used as a fallback if you chose to get NTP settings from your DHCP
server. The NTP servers can be located on your network or can be public NTP servers located on
the Internet. Skip to step 6.
4. Click
Manually
.
