Network Configuration 3-9
Time Synchronization
Setting the time on
the CD-ROM
Server
The CD-ROM server clock has a volatile memory, so the correct
time must be entered whenever it is restarted. By editing the
CD-ROM server’s config.ini file, the time may be set by
manually entering the
Date and Time parameter values, or can
be configured to set automatically via the network operating
system
If you are using NetWare NDS you can set your CD-ROM server
for automatic time synchronization operation by setting the
TimeSyncSource parameter to NDS as shown below.
Time
Synchronization in
NetWare NDS
The CD-ROM server acts as a NetWare Secondary Time Server.
Time synchronization is normally obtained from a NetWare
Time Server using the SAP method. This method is set by the
CD-ROM server’s
TimeSyncSources . The default for this
parameter is a value of SAP .
Alternatively if you have a Time Provider Group on your system
you can choose to provide a list of servers for the CD-ROM server
to contact to obtain its time synchronization. The list can also
contain Secondary Time Servers. The list of servers is inserted
into the
TimeSyncSources parameter as follows:
TimeSyncSources = server1,server2,server3,....
Parameter name Value Description
Date = 97-06-28
yy-mm-dd, enter the date followed by !
to set manually.
Time = 14:46:30
hh:mm:ss, enter the time followed by !
to set manually.
Parameter name Value Description
TimeZone =
Must be set to the Time Zone that the
CD-ROM server is operating in. Refer
to “
TimeZone parameter permissible
values” in appendix B.
TimeSyncSource = NDS
Default is None. Set to NDS to enable
the CD-ROM server to get its time from
the NetWare network.
Parameter name Value Description
TimeSyncSources = SAP
The default is SAP for the network
agreed time. Alternatively enter the
server names to be contacted for time
synchronization.
