Configuring the SNTP client on other systems in the network

After your SNTP server runs, configure the other systems in the network to use System A as an SNTP server. For this scenario, you need to configure the SNTP client on System B.

You might need to refer to other system documentation to configure clients in your network.

To configure the SNTP client on System B, follow these steps:

1. From iSeries™ Navigator, expand System 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: systemA.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
