The NSS configuration interface appears, with the System Status page open:
5. It is a good idea to do a quick check of the information on the System Status page to ensure that
your hardware installation was successful and that this system is not reporting any errors. For
example, the Ethernet link(s) are up and in good condition, the right number of disk drives
installed appear, and so on. For a detailed description of the information on the System Status
page, click the Help button in the upper-right corner.
Step 3: Configure the Timing Settings
If you are installing the NSS within the Linksys One environment, the NSS time is automatically set
via the Linksys NTP server.
When you first configure the NSS, ensure that the NSS has successfully synchronized the time with
the NTP server. When the NSS is synchronizing with the NTP time server, the “Synchronizing time
with NTP server” message appears and the Update button is grayed out. After the synchronization
is complete, you can manually refresh the page by reselecting the NTP Configuration page from the
Manager Menu. If the synchronization failed, the following occurs:
An error message stating “Could not synchronize with NTP server(s)” appears in the NTP
Configuration page.
The system alert message “Could not synchronize with NTP server(s)” appears in the System
Status page.
If the SNMP traps are configured, an SNMP trap message is sent.
