3.7 SNTP Client Configuration
Use the SNTP Client Configuration screen to configure the 9145E10G to use a primary and sec-
ondary SNTP Server to automatically set the date and time. An accurate date and time in the
9145E10G assures accuracy for events listed in the System Log and for traps and alarms sent to
the system administrator. You can choose either of two methods for setting the date and time,
depending on your access to an external network and your need for accuracy.
•
For accuracy within a large network, you can set up the 9145E10G to synchronize the
system date and time to an SNTP server.
•
The time and date can be set manually. Refer to “Set Date and Time” on page 76 for
information to set the date and time manually.
To configure SNTP, select SNTP Client Configuration (7) from the System Configuration menu
and press Enter. The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) Client Configuration screen (Figure
3-19.) opens.
On the SNTP client Configuration screen, type the number of the SNTP setting to change and
then press Enter.
Use the Space Bar to cycle through predetermined settings, and press Enter.
