Aetria Network Manager Quick Start Guide CONFIGURE TIME AND DATE To configure the time and date, select Time and Date Configuration from the Aetria Network Manager Setup Menu and the Time Configuration menu is displayed. By default, the system will attempt to set its time by contacting Internet based Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers. NTP is the networking protocol for clock synchronization on computer networks.

Select OK to continue. Note that it may take several minutes for the time to synchronize. Should the configured NTP server not be reachable, the Aetria Network Manager appliance will fall back to using its local clock as a time source. To display a digital clock on the screen, return to the Time Configuration menu and select Clock View. The following dialog is displayed: Aetria Network Manager Quick Start Guide 33 To display the clock select `OK' and the clock is displayed across the screen. Press CTRL-ALT-F2 to return to the menu.
