Configuring the CC-SG Server Time and Date

CC-SG's time and date must be accurately maintained to provide credibility for its device-management capabilities.

Important: The Time/Date configuration is used when scheduling tasks in Task Manager. See Task Manager. The time set on your client PC may be different than the time set on CC-SG.

Only the CC Super-User and users with similar privileges can configure Time and Date.

Changing the time zone is disabled in a cluster configuration.

• To configure the CC-SG server time and date:

1. Choose Administration > Configuration.
2. Click the Time/Date tab.
   1. To set the date and time manually:
   • Date - click the drop-down arrow to select the Month, use the up and down arrows to select the Year, and then click the Day in the calendar area.
   • Time - use the up and down arrows to set the Hour, Minutes, and Seconds, and then click the Time zone drop-down arrow to select the time zone in which you are operating CC-SG.
   1. To set the date and time via NTP: Select the Enable Network Time Protocol checkbox at the bottom of the window, and then type the IP addresses for the Primary NTP server and the Secondary NTP server in the corresponding fields.

      Note: Network Time Protocol (NTP) is the protocol used to synchronize the attached computer's date and time data with a referenced NTP server. When CC-SG is configured with NTP, it can synchronize its clock time with the publicly available NTP reference server to maintain correct and consistent time.

3. Click Update Configuration to apply the time and date changes to CC-SG.
4. Click Refresh to reload the new server time in the Current Time field.
5. Choose System Maintenance > Restart to restart CC-SG.
