Users’ Guide: Networked Receiver Controller - NRC-2.0.1 PAGE 17

After the above change sequence is complete set the ntp.conf file contains the following:

restrict default ignore

restrict 192.168.1.146 nomodify noquery notrap

server 192.168.1.146

Once the ntp information has been configured the ntp daemon needs to be started and added to

the server startup. Select option 2 from the NTP Configuration Utility. Below is a screen

sequence example as the NTPd daemon is enabled.

Add ntpd to server startup? (y/N) y

Added to startup. Start ntpd now? (Y/n) y

Starting ntpd .......

The ntp daemon can be stopped and removed from the start-up by re-selecting option 2 from the

NTP Configuration Utility, which toggles to now show a remove ntpd option:

2 ) Remove ntpd from startup

Below is a screen sequence example as the NTPd daemon is disabled and removed from the

server startup.

Remove ntpd from server startup? (y/N) y

Removed from startup. Kill all running ntpd processes? (Y/n) y

Okay, killed.

Step 6: Set the Host Name

Select option 4 and enter a name for this NRC. This name should uniquely identify this NRC.

Below is a screen sequence example as the NRC name is changed.

Set NRC name:

Current NRC name: nrc

Change NRC name (y/N)? y

Enter new NRC name: nrc1

Change NRC name to nrc1 ? y

NRC name changed

Step 7: Restart the NRC

Select option R to restart the NRC. The NRC has two restart options – a system halt and a system

reboot. The NRC needs to be restarted to activate all the changes made through this

configuration utility. Once the system is restarted, the NRC will be accessible from the network.

The systems reboot and halt operations both shutdown the NRC system, with the reboot

command initiating a follow-on system restart.

Below is a screen sequence example as the NRC is reboot.
