Configuring SNTP

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) enables you to adjust the system clock by using the time server on the network.
The protocol is typically used for synchronizing the machine and a server, such as when the machine needs to access an LDAP server with security authentication. The time is adjusted based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), so specify the time zone setting before configuring SNTP.
"Setting the Current Date and Time"
SNTP settings can be specified via the Remote UI.
NOTE
The SNTP of the machine supports both NTP (version 3) and SNTP (versions 3 and 4) servers.
1
Start the Remote UI and log on in the system manager mode.
"Starting the Remote UI"
2
Click [Settings/Registration].
3
Click [Network Settings] -> [TCP/IP Settings].
4
Click [Edit] in [SNTP Settings].
5
Select the [Use SNTP] check box and specify the required settings.
[Use SNTP]
Select the check box to use SNTP for synchronization. If you do not want to use SNTP, clear the check box.
[NTP Server Name]
Enter the IP address of the NTP or the SNTP server. If DNS is available on the network, you can enter a host name (or a fully qualified domain name (FQDN)) instead (example: ntp.example.com).
[Polling Interval]
Specify the interval between one synchronization and the next. Specify an interval from 1 to 48 hours.
6
Click [OK].
7
Restart the machine.
Turn OFF the machine and wait for at least 10 seconds before turning it ON again.
NOTE
Testing communication with the NTP/SNTP server
You can test whether the machine is communicating with the registered time server via SNTP. Go to [Settings/Registration] [Network Settings] [TCP/IP Settings] and click [Check NTP Server] in [SNTP Settings]. If a proper connection has been established, the result is displayed as shown below. Note that this operation only tests communication, and does not adjust the system clock.
