3. SNTP Client Sync Interval (minutes) - Set how often, in minutes, that the 9145E tries to
synchronize its time to the SNTP server; Range is 0 (attempt to synchronize at bootup,
only) to 1440 (once daily)
4. SNTP Client Delay Time (seconds) - Sets the delay for the initial SNTP request. If not
zero, the request will be sent at a random interval within the delay time. This is used to
prevent multiple NID requests at the same time in the event that all NIDs power down and
power up at the same time.
5. SNTP Server IP Address - Two SNTP servers can be configured
• IP Address: Set the address for the SNTP server. IP address 0.0.0.0 indicates no
server.
• Retries: How many times the 9145E tries to synchronize before trying the alternate
server. Range is 0 to 10
• Timeout (seconds): Wait period between unsuccessful attempts. Range is 1 to 30
• Priority: Set which server to contact first. Range is 1 to 255 with 1 the highest priority
and 255 the lowest. If the priority is the same for the two servers, the 9145E alter-
nates tries between the servers.

3.8 SYSLOG Client Configuration
Use the SYSLOG Client Configuration screen to configure the 9145E to send log messages to a
SYSLOG Server. From the System Configuration menu, select SYSLOG Client Configuration (8)
and press Enter. The SYSLOG Client Configuration screen (Figure 3-20) opens.
On the SYSLOG Client Configuration screen, type the number of the SYSLOG setting to change
and press Enter. When entries are completed, press Esc to return to the System Configuration
menu.
Syslog Server IP Address - Configure the IP address of the Syslog server. Two Syslog
servers can be configured.
Syslog Server Port - Configure the Syslog Server port. The standard syslog port is 514. The
port setting should match with the Syslog server UDP port setting (1 - 65535).
Syslog Server Mask - Define the level of severity of the messages to be send. There are
eight (8) levels of severity as defined in RFC 3164. The severity levels from highest to lowest
are:
Emergency: - System is unusable.
Alert: - Action must be taken immediately.
Critical: - Critical Condition.
Error: - Error Condition.
