<div><p>This information provides details about how to configure SNTP on
your iSeries™ server.</p>
<div class="section"><p>SNTP can be used to adjust system time. As most applications use
the system time, this means that those applications will obtain accurate time
from the system clock.</p>
<p>The options you see in iSeries Navigator depend on what version
of the i5/OS™ operating
system you are running on your server and what version of iSeries Access
for Windows<sup>®</sup> you
are using. In iSeries Navigator,
click <span class="uicontrol">Help</span> or press F1 for help that describes the
procedures for your version.</p>
<p>To work with SNTP, follow these steps:</p>
</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>In iSeries Navigator,
expand <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">your iSeries server</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Network</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Servers</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">TCP/IP</span></span>.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Right-click <span class="uicontrol">SNTP</span> and select <span class="uicontrol">Properties</span>.
Click the following tabs to set the parameters: </span>
<div class="tablenoborder"><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="" frame="border" border="1" rules="all"><thead align="left"><tr><th valign="top" id="d0e79">Select this tab</th>
<th valign="top" id="d0e81">Then do this</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody><tr><td valign="top" headers="d0e79 ">General</td>
<td valign="top" headers="d0e81 ">Specify whether to start SNTP when TCP/IP starts. You can set this
preference for the server and the client separately.</td>
</tr>
<tr><td valign="top" headers="d0e79 ">Client</td>
<td valign="top" headers="d0e81 ">Specify up to three time servers that the client can poll. Also specify
the poll interval, adjustment preferences, and logging preference.</td>
</tr>
<tr><td valign="top" headers="d0e79 ">Server</td>
<td valign="top" headers="d0e81 ">Specify your logging preference. By default, the SNTP server will serve
the system time when you start it. You might want to select <span class="uicontrol">Server
must be synchronized before valid time is served</span> to specify that
you want your iSeries to
act as a client to obtain time from another source before serving time to
other clients.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</li>
</ol>
<div class="section"><p>In addition to iSeries Navigator, you can work with SNTP settings
using the Change SNTP Attributes (CHGNTPA) command on character-based interface.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If
you are using the SNTP client through a firewall, the firewall configuration
might need to be updated to allow the passing of UDP packets on port 123.</div>
