Setting the Date and Time (Option To Use NTP)

To set the date and time that NewsShare NAS uses, choose

System | System

Administration | Date/Time

. The Date/Time window appears:

After you set the date and time, NewsShare NAS maintains the correct date and
time even when special events, such as Daylight Savings and Leap Year, occur.

1. If you do not use Network Time Protocol (NTP), select the correct

time zone

for the site and go to Step 4.

NOTE: To automatically update scheduled time changes such as
daylight savings time, use a city time zone rather than a regional time
zone.

2. If you use NTP, click in the

Enable NTP Service

box. NTP is a protocol that

synchronizes the real-time clock in a computer to the Universal Time
Coordinated (UTC) via radio, satellite, or modem. The NTP server field
appears. The date and time fields are set at the current date and time. They
cannot be modified. Using NTP ensures accurate time keeping. Some
business application may require it.

3. Enter the

IP address or the host name

of the NTP service to which you

subscribe. Go to Step 6.

4. Specify the current

year, month, and day

. (Not available if NTP service is

enabled.)

5. Specify the current

hours, minute, and second

. (Not available if NTP

service is enabled.)
