Basic Configuration
• SecondaryNTPAddress: Defines the IPv4 and/or IPv6 protocol IP address or
domain name for the secondary, fallback NTP Server. (Default = undefined)
Notes:
• Inordertousedomainnamesforwebaddresses,DNSServerparameters
mustfirstbedefinedasdescribedinSection5.9.5.
• TheWebBrowserInterfaceincludestwoseparatefieldsthatareallowedto
definebothanIPv4protocolandIPv6protocolformatPrimaryNTPAddress
andSecondaryNTPAddress.
• WhenthePrimaryNTPAddressandSecondaryNTPAddressaredefinedvia
theTextInterface,theTSM/RSMwilldisplayapromptthatinstructstheuser
toselectIPv4orIPv6protocol.
• TheTSM/RSMallowsparametersforbothIPv4andIPv6protocolstobe
definedandsaved.
• NTPTimeout: The amount of time in seconds, that will elapse between each
attempt to contact the NTP server. When the initial attempt is unsuccessful, the
TSM/RSM will retry the connection four times. If neither the primary nor secondary
NTP server responds, the TSM/RSM will wait 24 hours before attempting to contact
the NTP server again. (Default = 3 Seconds)
• TestNTPServers: Allows you to ping the IP addresses or domain names defined
via the Primary and Secondary NTP Address prompts, or to ping a new address or
domain defined via the Test NTP Servers submenu in order to check that a valid IP
address or domain name has been entered.
Notes:
• InorderfortheTestNTPServersfeaturetofunction,yournetworkand/or
firewallmustbeconfiguredtoallowpingcommands.
• InadditiontotheTestNTPServersoption,the/TESTcommandintheText
Interfaceorthe"Test"optionintheWebBrowserInterfacecanalsobeused
topinganyuserdefinedIPaddressinordertomakecertainthattheIP
addressisresponding.
