that your firewalls or routers do not block or proxy UDP port 123.

NTP on FortiRecorder complies with RFC 5905. If the current system time differs greatly from
the actual time, NTP will adjust the clock slowly to avoid incongruous jumps in log message
timestamps and other time-dependent features. If you want the time to be corrected
immediately, set the time zone and time manually first, then switch to NTP.
NTP queries may fail until you have configured gateway and DNS settings. See “Configuring the
network settings”.
