Once a day.
The default configuration hasthe system time zone set to UTC. No additional configuration is required
for the system time if the default configuration is sufficient. However, you can change the default time
zoneand the default NTPserver, aswell asconfiguring additional NTPservers. If multiple servers are
configured, a number of time samplesare obtained from each of the servers and a subset of the NTP
clock filter and selection algorithmsare applied to select the best of these. See Configure the system
time for details about changing the default configuration.
The IX20 device can also beconfigured to serve as an NTPserver, providing NTPservices to
downstream devices. See Network Time Protocol for more information about NTPserver support.
