Pre-Defined Ntp Time Servers List; Time Server Synchronization - ZyXEL Communications NXC2500 User Manual

28.4.1 Pre-defined NTP Time Servers List

When you turn on the NXC for the first time, the date and time start at 2003-01-01 00:00:00. The
NXC then attempts to synchronize with one of the following pre-defined list of Network Time
Protocol (NTP) time servers.
The NXC continues to use the following pre-defined list of NTP time servers if you do not specify a
time server or it cannot synchronize with the time server you specified.
Table 153 Default Time Servers
0.pool.ntp.org
1.pool.ntp.org
2.pool.ntp.org
When the NXC uses the pre-defined list of NTP time servers, it randomly selects one server and
tries to synchronize with it. If the synchronization fails, then the NXC goes through the rest of the
list in order from the first one tried until either it is successful or all the pre-defined NTP time
servers have been tried.

Click the Synchronize Now button to get the time and date from the time server you specified in
