Step 13. Configuring time synchronization with an NTP server

At this step, you can configure the server time synchronization with an NTP server.

When installing the Central Node and Sensor components on separate servers, it is highly recommended to turn on time synchronization on the servers with an NTP server. If the time difference between Central Node and Sensor servers is greater than 10 minutes, data of the Sensor component cannot be received at the Central Node.

To configure time synchronization with an NTP server:

1. In the Use NTP to set clock window, click Yes.

   This opens the Configure NTP servers window.

2. In the Configure NTP servers window, select New.

   This opens the Add NTP server window.

3. In the NTP server field, enter the IP address or URL of the NTP, which you want to set the time synchronization with.
4. Click Ok.

   This closes the Add NTP server window.

   The address of the NTP server is added to the list of NTP servers in the Configure NTP servers window.

5. Select Continue.
6. Press ENTER.

The Setup Wizard proceeds to the next step.

To disable time synchronization with an NTP server:

1. In the Use NTP to set clock window, click No.

   This opens the Set the system clock manually window.

2. Click one of the following buttons:
   • No, if you do not want to set up the time manually.

   The Setup Wizard proceeds directly to the next step.

   • Yes, if you want to set up the time manually.

   This opens the Set the system clock window where you can define the time settings.

3. Upon finishing with the time settings, select Continue.
4. Press ENTER.

The Setup Wizard proceeds to the next step.
