3.2.3. Date And Time Setup
Date and Time Setup Page allow for selecting the server name and IP address
specific to the time zone.
The terminal uses the SNTP protocol to get time from the time servers.
The system will always try to use the first server in the list. If that one fails it will try
the next in the list until one works or the list runs out.
If the terminal is not keeping time correctly, an internal time server may need to be
added to the list. Contact the sites IT dept. to get the name or IP address of the time
server and replace the first entry in the list.
