Configure how the SMS Server obtains its date and time. You can configure the SMS Server to obtain its date and time from a network-based network time protocol (NTP) server or you can set the date and time manually.
To keep date and time consistent between the SMS Server and the devices it manages, consider configuring your SMS Server as an NTP Server, and configure the managed devices to obtain their date and time from the SMS Server. You can then configure the SMS Server to obtain its time from another NTP Server.
Do not set the time backwards on the SMS server as it might cause inconsistencies in system services that depend tightly on time. The SMS will restart if the time zone is changed, or if the time change is greater than 1 minute.
Enable SMS Network Time Protocol authentication settings - You can only enable Network Time Protocol (NTP) authentication settings for the SMS from the SMS CLI. For details, see "ntp-auth" in the CLI Reference.
The SMS does not store NTP log messages or connection details. Review this information on the NTP Server.

Procedure

  1. Go to Admin → Server Properties, and then select the Network tab.
  2. Select Enable Time Protocol (NTP) under Date/Time.
  3. Provide the IP address or hostname of one or more NTP servers. If Enable Time Protocol (NTP) is selected, you must identify at least one NTP Server.
  4. Click the Time Zone drop-down list, and select the correct time zone in which the SMS server operates.
  5. Click Apply.
