DATE/TIME TAB
Figure 173. Date/Time Tab
The Date/Time tab allows you to configure a time server for the VMX300(-E) server to synchronize to.
1. Add: To add a time server, click Add. The Add Time Server dialog box opens.
Figure 174. Add Time Server Dialog Box
Type the time server’s host name or IP address, and port number. Click OK.
2. Select time servers: The VMX300(-E) server will not attempt to synchronize to any time server whose check box is not checked. Select
each time server you want the VMX300(-E) server to attempt to synchronize to. Clear the check box of any time server you do not want the
VMX300(-E) server to attempt to synchronize to.
3. Order list: The VMX300(-E) server attempts to synchronize to the topmost selected server in the list, and, if that fails, the next selected
server in the list, and so on, until there are no more selected servers in the list. To move a time server up in the list, select the server and
click the up arrow to the right of the list. To move a server down in the list, select the server and click the down arrow.
4. Remove: To remove a time server from the list, select the server and click Remove.
5. Frequency: Use the “Synchronize every _ minutes” box to specify how often you want the VMX300(-E) server to synchronize its time to a
time server.
6. Network time server: If you want to use the VMX300(-E) server as a time server for devices and other servers to synchronize to, select
“Allow this server to act as a Network Time Server on port” and enter the port number.
TIP: In a multi-server system (VMX300-E only), you might want to synchronize one VMX300-E server with an Internet time server, then
synchronize all the other VMX300-E servers on your network to the first, saving them from having to access the Internet to synchronize.
