Lantronix SLC 8000 manual Date and Time Commands, To view the local date, time, and time zone

7: Services

Synchronize via

Select one of the following:

Broadcast from NTP Server: Enables the SLC unit to accept time information periodically transmitted by the NTP server. This is the default if you enable NTP.

Poll NTP Server: Enables the SLC 8000 advanced console manager to query the NTP Server for the correct time. If you select this option, complete one of the following:

Local: Select this option if the NTP servers are on a local network, and enter the IP address of up to three NTP servers. This is the default, and it is highly recommended.

Public: Select this option if you want to use a public NTP server, and select the address of the NTP server from the drop-down list. This is not recommended because of the high load on many public NTP servers. All servers in the drop-down list are stratum-2 servers. (See www.ntp.org for more information.) Each public NTP server has its own usage rules --please refer to the appropriate web site before using one. Our listing them here is to provide easy configuration but does not indicate any permission for use.
