Configuring the date and time for the System Platform server

About this task

Avaya recommends that you use a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server within your network to synchronize the time of the System Platform server.

Set the current date and time on the Date/Time and NTP setup screen.
Note
Ensure that the time set here is correct. Changing the time in a virtual machine environment requires rebooting the virtual machines. Therefore, Avaya recommends setting the time correctly on this screen during the installation
If you are using an NTP server, perform the following steps on the Date/Time and NTP setup screen:
1. Select Use NTP if you are using one or more NTP servers.
2. In the NTP server fields, enter the DNS name or the IP address of your preferred NTP servers.
Select OK and press Enter to accept the configuration and display the Passwords screen.
