About the NTP Server
The NTP server is a remote server with which the VCS synchronizes in order to ensure its time setting is accurate. The NTP server provides the VCS with UTC time.
Accurate timestamps play an important part in authentication, helping to guard against replay attacks. For this reason, if you are using authentication, both the VCS and the endpoints must use an NTP server to synchronize their system time.
Traversal clients must always authenticate with traversal servers, even if the server’s authentication mode is off (this setting applies to endpoint authentication only). Therefore in order for a traversal client and traversal server to connect to each other, both must be configured with details of an NTP server.
About the Time Zone
The NTP server provides the VCS with UTC time. You can also determine the local time to be used on your system by configuring the Time Zone. This takes the UTC time and offsets it by the number of hours specified by the selected time zone to make the local time.
The local time is used throughout the web UI and to set the timestamp that appears at the start of each line in the Event Log.
NTP server
Sets the IP address or FQDN of the NTP server to be used when synchronizing system time.
