Network Time Protocol (NTP)
can be used to synchronize the
time and date or computer
systems with a centralized,
referenced server. This can
help ensure all systems on a
network have the same time
and date.
Date and Time Setting Mode
Select the Date and Time Setting Mode required. If set for ‘Use Local
Time’ the unit will keep its own time and not attempt to synchronize
with a network server. If ‘Synchronize Date And Time Over Network’ is
selected, a NTP server can be defined.
Values (selection)
Use Local Time Source
Synchronize Date And Time
Over Network
If connecting to a NTP time server, specify the timezone from the
dropdown list.

Timezone

the timezone setting.

Time Settings
The VIP4G can be set to use a local time source, thus keeping time on its own, or it can be configured to
synchronize the date and time via a NTP Server. The options and menus available will change depending
on the current setting of the Date and Time Setting Mode, as seen below.
