NTP

you can configure the ntp settings by navigating to settings > network and clicking the ntp tab this feature is best in used in situations where belden horizon data operations instances do not have internet access (thus no access to public time servers) ntp clients and ntp servers overview in setups where belden horizon data operations instances normally have internet, belden horizon data operations instances are ntp clients to an ntp server (available on the public internet) that provide them clock synchronization services belden horizon data manager can instead act as a replacement ntp server to provide clock synchronization services to connected belden horizon data operations instances these belden horizon data operations instances will be ntp clients to the belden horizon data manager in this configuration, belden horizon data manager will use its local time to provide the clock synchronization to the belden horizon data operations for belden horizon data operations instances to set the belden horizon data manager as an ntp server, see the ntp servers section of docid\ bbf7yglzlpp2p9qgaqofy there is also a more advanced configuration that provides clock synchronization from an existing ntp server the belden horizon data manager can connect to an upstream ntp server (which may be available on the public internet or elsewhere) and receive a time that will be sent downstream to its connected belden horizon data operations instances in this configuration, the belden horizon data manager will simultaneously act as an intermediate ntp server to belden horizon data operations instance and also an ntp client to the upstream ntp server \[1] toggle ntp server \[2] show clients this feature is only available when the ntp server is enabled \[3] refresh ntp client status this will show the ntp server the belden horizon data manager is connected to if no ntp servers are available, the belden horizon data manager will display a status of local , indicating that it will synchronize the time of belden horizon data operations instances based on the belden horizon data manager's local time rather than a time received from an ntp server \[4] enter ntp server address you cannot add an ntp server that's already been added \[5] add specify the external ntp servers that the belden horizon data manager will connect to the belden horizon data manager itself will act as an ntp client to these servers \[6] delete ntp server ntp clients when you click show clients , the ntp clients dialog box opens it shows the ip address of all belden horizon data operations devices connected to the belden horizon data manager
