16. Network Time
Using the Network Time Protocol (NTP), the SkyWay Excel radio can be time
synchronized to an NTP v3/v4 time server as defined by www.ntp.org
.
To setup this feature, navigate to Configuration -> Advanced to access the
Date and Time feature configuration:
To time synchronize the radio, the NTP server IP address must be established
and the ‘sync’ button pressed. If connection is successful, the local time/date
will be updated to match NTP time.
An NTP resync will occur automatically twice per day.
If the NTP server is off-line, time is still kept locally on the radio. However, a
reboot of the unit will blank the time. A re-connection to the NTP server or
manual re-configuration of the time is required to correct the time/date.
Time zone information must be entered manually as a fixed offset from UTC.
Once entered, this information is stored in non-volatile local memory and does
not need to be re-entered.
All changes, except for the NTP Sync function, should be followed by a ‘Submit’
to make active.
17. Password Management
Navigate to Management -> Password to access the Login configuration
screen:
Enter New Password: Enter the new password.
Confirm Password: Re-enter the new password for confirmation.
At the time of the first password change, a password ‘hint’ prompt will be
displayed.
Once established, this hint answer can be used to reset the admin password, if
it has been forgotten, via the ‘recover’ Telnet login, as follows:
> Login: recover
> Password: (default)
