SLB™ Branch Office Manager User Guide 78
Synchronize via
Select one of the following:
Broadcast from NTP Server: Enables the SLB
branch office manager to accept time information
periodically transmitted by the NTP server. This is
the default if you enable NTP.
Poll NTP Server: Enables the SLB device to query
the NTP Server for the correct time. If you select this
option, complete one of the following:
Local: Select this option if the NTP servers are
on a local network, and enter the IP address of
up to three NTP servers. This is the default, and
it is highly recommended.
Public: Select this option if you want to use a
public NTP server, and select the address of the
NTP server from the drop-down list. This is not
recommended because of the high load on many
public NTP servers. All servers in the drop-down
list are stratum-2 servers. (See www.ntp.org
for
more information.)
Each public NTP server has its own usage rules -
-please refer to the appropriate web site before
using one. Our listing them here is to provide
easy configuration but does not indicate any
permission for use.
