Network Time Server Screen
You will be able to make the following choices, according to the planning documentation:
— Choose Disable NTP if the user does not want the Network Time Protocol to run on the
S8300 Media Server. Select this option to disable Network Time Protocol (NTP) and use
the media server's own clock as a time source. You typically choose this option if this is
the only media server in the configuration and it will not be synchronized with an external
time source.
— Choose Enable NTP if the S8300 Media Server will be the primary NTP server.
Optionally, you can provide the address of the survivable S8300 Media Server in the local
survivable configuration. Select this option to enable NTP and use the media server's own
clock as a time source. You typically choose this option if there is more than one media
server in the configuration (for example, this or another media server may be acting as an
LSP standby unit), and an external time source is not available to provide synchronization
between the units. Select this option to enable NTP and use its own clock as a time source.
You need to set up the time clock with Set Server Time/Timezone option. You need to set
the server clock using the Set Server Time / Timezone screen. You can do this now, then
return to the Configure Server window.
