4. (Optional) Add an upstream NTP server that the device will use to synchronize its time to the
appropriate location in the list of NTP servers. The default setting is time.devicecloud.com.
To delete the default NTP server, time.devicecloud.com:
n
(config)> del service ntp server 0
To add the NTP server to the beginning of the list, use the index value of 0 to indicate
n
that it should be added as the first server:
(config)> add service ntp server 0 time.server.com
(config)>
To add the NTP server to the end of the list, use the index keyword end:
n
(config)> add service ntp server end time.server.com
(config)>
To add the NTP server in another location in the list, use an index value to indicate the
n
appropriate position. For example:
(config)> add service ntp server 1 time.server.com
(config)>
Note
This list is synchronized with the list of servers included with NTP server configuration,
and changes made to one will be reflected in the other. See

Network Time Protocol
Network Time Protocol (NTP) enables devices connected on local and worldwide networks to
synchronize their internal software and hardware clocks to the same time source. The Connect IT Mini
device can be configured as an NTP server, allowing downstream hosts that are attached to the
device's Local Area Networks to synchronize with the device.
When the device is configured as an NTP server, it also functions as an NTP client. The NTP client will
be consistently synchronized with one or more upstream NTP servers, which means that NTP packets
are transferred every few seconds. A minimum of one upstream NTP server is required. Additional
NTP servers can be configured. If multiple servers are configured, a number of time samples are
