Auto-Sync Time Clock

3.Highlight the desired time server in the list, and click on the , or buttons to modify or delete an existing time server.

NOTE: The only editable field for a predefined time server is Enabled, but if the time server was user created, then the Name, Host Name/IP Address, and Enabled fields can be changed.

The Last Successful Sync and Last Successful Attempt fields are read only. The last successful sync represents the date/time that the clock time was actually synced (met parameters), while the last successful attempt represents when the actual connection attempt was successful.

4.Click on the button to create a user defined time server, and the Time Server Settings screen will appear (see Figure 4-13). Enter the Name of the time server (maximum length is 20 characters).

NOTE: The acceptable characters for a Time Server name are ‘a-z’ upper and lowercase, ‘0-9’, (-) dash, (_) underscore, and (*) asterisk.

Look – This is where you can setup the parameters to use an internal Time Server. Also, when you create a new Time Server it will automatically be placed at the top of the list in position 1. This order is important because the first Time Server successfully used sets the time.

5.Enter the Host Name/IP Address for the time server (maximum length is 50 characters).

6.You MUST click the Enabled box for a time server to be used.

7.Press the “Test Time Sync” button to connect to the Time Server using the settings. This tests whether the connection is good or bad (i.e., wrong host name/IP address).

8.Click the button to save the new time server information.
