Configure the SNTP client on other systems in the network

After your SNTP server is running, you must configure the other systems on the network to use iSeries™ A as an SNTP server. Use the following steps to configure the SNTP client on iSeries Server B. You might need to refer to other system documentation to configure clients in your network.

To configure the SNTP client on other systems, perform the following steps:

  1. In iSeries Navigator, expand iSeries Server B > Network > Servers > TCP/IP.
  2. Right-click SNTP and select Properties.
  3. Click the following tabs to set the parameters:
    1. On the General tab, click Client to start the SNTP client when TCP/IP starts.
    2. On the Client tab, specify the following values:
      • Time servers: serverA.yourco.com
      • Poll interval: 60 minutes
      • Minimum adjustment: 20 milliseconds
      • Maximum adjustment: 20 minutes
      • Adjustment threshold: Maximum adjustment
      • Activity logging: Only when adjusting the system clock
