Enabling network time servers

!
Important:
Avaya strongly recommends that you enable Network Time Protocol (NTP) and
Important:
configure at least one network time server. If a network time server is not used the
Date/Time settings on the media server must be reset regularly, at least monthly,
using the Maintenance Web Interface. The network time strategy is determined
by the network administrator.
With NTP, you can specify one, two, or three network time servers to provide the accurate time
of day data to the clocks on the media servers. The network time servers, in turn, get their
source timing from one of several highly accurate time services that are available on the
Internet.
To use a network time server, the NTP service must be enabled. The Avaya Installation Wizard
prompts you to enable the NTP service. If you do not use the Installation Wizard, use the
Configure Server function on the Maintenance Web Interface to configure the network time
servers.
1. From the Maintenance Web Interface, under Server Configuration, click Configure
Server.
2. Click Continue on the Review Notices page and the Backup Up Data page.
3. On the "Specify how you want to use this wizard" page, select Configure individual
services and then click Continue.
4. In the menu on the left side of the Configure Server page, click Configure Timer Server.
5. Enter the NTS information on the Configure Time Server screen and click Change.
6. On the main menu, under Security, click Firewall.
7. In the "Output from Server" column, select ntp 123/udp.
