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

synchronizes the real-time clock in a computer to the Universal Time
Coordinated (UTC) via radio, satellite, or modem. The NTP server field

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

enabled.)
