12. Time Configuration

Abstract

 NTP stands for “Network Time Protocol” and is used to synchronize system time with reference time servers on the Internet. This wizard lets you set up a time server for your internal network. When you have set up the external time servers your own server will use to correct its internal clock, machines on your local network will be able to get the correct time from your local server.
