Configuring The Timing Settings - Linksys NSS4000 Series Administrator's Manual

Configuring the Timing Settings

If you are installing the NSS within the Linksys One environment, the NSS time is automatically set
via the Linksys NTP server.
When you first configure the NSS, ensure that the NSS has successfully synchronized the time with
the NTP server. If the synchronization failed, the following occurs:
• An error message stating "Could not synchronize with NTP server(s)" appears in the NTP
Configuration page.
• The system alert message "Could not synchronize with NTP server(s)" appears in the System
Status page.
• If the SNMP traps are configured, an SNMP trap message is sent.
To configure the time settings for the NSS:
1. From the Manager Menu, click Admin
The NTP Configuration page appears.
2. To use an NTP server to maintain the NSS time, click Automatically (via NTP). To assign the time
manually, skip to step 4.
3. If your DHCP server is configured to provide NTP settings, then select "Assign automatically via
DHCP". If not, you must manually configure the NTP settings. In the NTP Server fields, enter the
IP address or hostname for the NTP servers you wish to synchronize. Note that the settings in
these fields are also be used as a fallback if you chose to get NTP settings from your DHCP
server. The NTP servers can be located on your network or can be public NTP servers located on
the Internet. Skip to step 6.
4. Click Manually.
