Displaying And Resetting System Time - Cisco TelePresence Server 7010 Product User Manual

Displaying and resetting system time

You can manually set the system date and time for the TelePresence Server or let it use the Network
Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize its time.
To configure Time settings, go to Configuration > Time.
System time
Current time displays the time according to the TelePresence Server.
To manually set the system date and time, type the new values and click Change system time.
NTP
The TelePresence Server supports the NTP protocol. If you want the TelePresence Server to
automatically synchronize with an NTP server, enter the NTP settings and then click Update NTP
settings.
The TelePresence Server synchronizes with the NTP server every hour.
If the NTP server is local to either of the TelePresence Server's enabled Ethernet interfaces, the
TelePresence Server automatically uses the port to communicate with the NTP server.
If the NTP server is not local, the TelePresence Server will use the port that is configured as the default
gateway to communicate with the NTP server, unless a specific IP route to the NTP server's network/IP
address is specified (see
If there is a firewall between the TelePresence Server and the NTP server, configure the firewall to allow
NTP traffic to UDP port 123.
Field Field description
Enable NTP Check the box to enable NTP protocol on
the TelePresence Server.
UTC offset The offset of the time zone that you are in
from UTC.
NTP host The IP address or hostname of the server
that is acting as the time keeper for the
network.
Using NTP over NAT (Network Address Translation)
No extra configuration is required if the NAT is local to the TelePresence Server's network.
If NAT is used on the NTP server's local network, you must configure the NAT forwarding table to
forward NTP data from the TelePresence Server to UDP port 123 on the NTP server.
