This function allows you to adjust NTP server settings.
With this function you can set the time and date:
Manual
- Type in the time and date using the following format:
- hh:mm:ss yyyy-mm-dd . Use military format, i.e., 00:00 to 23:59.
- Select an NTP server (Network Time Protocol: for more info please see: www.ntp.org).
NTP server
- This will pick up the time and date from an NTP server. In this case please make sure you have Internet access and proper network setup, especially the gateway and DNS. You can check proper Internet access by using ping from the console tools. At the console, press Ctl-Alt-T . Select ' Ping '.
- To use this option you must set the correct NTP server in the Time zone settings function.
You may provide a fully qualified host name or an IP address. Select time zone suitable for your location.
With the Continuous adjusting using NTP option enabled your system time will be monitored and corrected if the difference between the local time and the server time changes. Enabling this option is especially recommended when using domains.
Note
Time setting is very important for proper functioning of the server.
The gateway and DNS network settings must be configured beforehand.
