Main/Date & Time – Date, Time, Zone Support
and NTP server Synchronization
The Date and Time page allows you to configure time-related settings of your Prima IP, including Time
Zone settings, Local Time and Internet Time.
After you have made all modifications, click
Store Settings
to save your settings and then hit
Apply
Settings/Restart Servers
to validate these new settings.
No change you have made on this page will apply until you hit
Apply Settings/Restart
Servers!
Time Zone:
Select the Time Zone/Region and City/Town from the available list as seen in the drop down
combo boxes.
Local Time:
Enter the correct date (dd-mm-yyyy) and time (hh:mm) here and click Change Local Time
button to set current system time on
Prima IP
. Note that if you check the option to automatically
synchronize with an Internet Time Server (NTP), the time setting will be periodically synchronized to the
time of NTP server specified on each restart of the
Prima IP
and every hour.
Internet Time:
This option, Synchronize with an Internet Time Server (NTP), is for the automatic time
synchronization of
Prima IP
with an available timeserver on the Internet. You can check the option and then
specify the timeservers you prefer. The
Prima IP
will try to synchronize with the timer servers every time it
starts or restarts and will continue to synchronize every hour thereafter.
Note:
if you choose this option the original Current Date and Time settings you manually entered
will be refreshed with the time provided by the Internet timeserver.
NTP Server1
: is the server, with which the
Prima IP
will first try to synchronize, and the NTP Server2 is
the backup timeserver, with which the
Prima IP
will synchronize when the first timeserver is not available.
Enter the domain name of the timeserver.
Note:
There are many Internet timeservers available. You can search in the Internet for ones that are
nearer to the location where you install the
Prima IP
. You should choose your Internet timeservers
based on the principle that a timeserver nearer to you will reduce time latency in synchronization.
