Tasks
Otherwise:
n Correct any problems with the GPS installation.
n Make arrangements with your IT department to open firewall port 123 so that NTP mes-
sages can travel between LAN1 and NTP servers on the Internet
n Add any NTP servers on the local or wide area network, (LAN or WAN) as NTP asso-
ciations.
n Add public NTP servers to the SyncServer's NTP Associations, as described below.
Adding NTP Servers to the NTP Associations
1. Search the Internet for "NTP servers".
2. Review the lists of NTP servers on the various sites. (Stratum 1 recommended.)
3. Identify several NTP servers operated by trustworthy organizations, including one or two
nearby.
4. Verify that your usage complies with the access policies of the NTP servers.
5.
Using the SyncServer's NTP - Config page, under Add/Edit NTP Association:
n
Role: Select "Server".
n
Address: Enter the URL or IP address of the NTP server.
n Leave the other settings at their default values unless there's a reason to change
them.
6.
Click the RESTART button to restart the NTP daemon.
Note: When using a URL as the NTP server address, a valid DNS server must be available
for LAN1 on the NETWORK - Ethernet page.
RecoveringaPassword
Enable Recover Password when setting up the SyncServer so it is available when needed.
This can be done using the ADMIN - Users or WIZARD-1st Setup pages
To recover a lost or forgotten password:
1.
Enter the username, select the Recover Password checkbox, and click the LOGIN button.
2.
Answer the Recovery Question and click the RESET button. The SyncServer sends a mes-
sage to the email address of the username.
3. When the email arrives, log into the SyncServer using the new password provided in the
email message.
4.
Change the password using the ADMIN - Users page.
If Recover Password wasn't enabled:
n If the SyncServer has multiple user accounts, you may be able to have another user log
in and change the password for you.
n If there is no other way to log into the SyncServer, use the hardware jumper to restore
the factory configuration. See Restoring the Factory Default Configuration (on page
119).
