Date

&

Time

The

ODU

maintains

a

date

and

time.

The

date

and

time

should

be

synchronized

with

any

Network

Time

Protocol

(NTP)

version

3

compatible

server.

During

power

‐

up

the

ODU

attempts

to

configure

the

initial

date

and

time

using

an

NTP

Server.

If

the

server

IP

address

is

not

configured

or

is

not

reachable,

a

default

time

is

set.

When

configuring

the

NTP

Server

IP

address,

you

should

also

configure

the

offset

from

the

Universal

Coordinated

Time

(UTC).

If

there

is

no

server

available,

you

can

either

set

the

date

and

time,

or

you

can

set

it

to

use

the

date

and

time

from

the

managing

computer.

Note

that

manual

setting

is

not

recommended

since

it

will

be

overridden

by

a

reset,

power

up,

or

synchronization

with

an

NTP

Server.

To

set

the

date

and

time:

1.

Determine

the

IP

address

of

the

NTP

server

to

be

used.

2.

Test

it

for

connectivity

using

the

command,

for

example:

w32tm

/stripchart

/computer:216.218.192.202

The

NTP

uses

UDP

port

123.

If

a

firewall

is

configured

between

the

ODU

and

the

NTP

Server

this

port

must

be

opened.

It

can

take

up

to

8

minutes

for

the

NTP

to

synchronize

the

ODU

date

and

time.
