Server’s Time
Configuration
The CD-ROM server’s clock has a volatile memory, so the correct
time must be set whenever the server is restarted.
Manually Configuring Date and Time
To manually configure the server’s Date and Time parameters
whenever the server is restarted, set the following general
server parameters.
Note ❏ If you are editing the config.ini file as your configuration
method, follow the setting with an exclamation mark.
Setting Up the Network Time Protocol
An alternative to manual configuration is automatic time syn-
chronization using the Network Time Protocol (NTP, as defined
by RFC 1769). Set these configuration parameters.
Setting Up NDS Time Synchronization
If you are using NetWare NDS, another alternative is to set
automatic time synchronization from a NetWare Time Server.
Set the following general server configuration parameters:
NDS time synchronization is normally obtains using the SAP
method. Or, if you have a Time Provider Group on your system
you can provide a list of servers for the CD-ROM server to con-
tact to obtain its time synchronization. The list can also contain
