Setting the Date and
Time Using the Network
Time Protocol
The library supports the Network Time Protocol (NTP). NTP allows you to
synchronize the library date and time with other components in your IT
infrastructure. Administrative users can either modify the date and time
zone settings manually or configure NTP.
If NTP is enabled, the time zone and IP addresses
of at least one NTP
server must be configured on the library. Contact your network
administrator for NTP server IP address information.
Details on NTP settings include:
• At least one NTP server must be configured and available.
• NTP is enabled on the Date & Time screen. When NTP is enabled,
you cannot manual
ly configure date and time. For more information
on setting date and time manually, see
Setting the Date and Time
Manually on page 50.
• You can enter an IP address for a primary and a
n alternate (optional)
NTP server.
