ePrism allows specifying an NTP server during the system configuration, or later from Appliance Manager, for maintaining time synchronization with other machines using "network time protocol" (NTP).
Currently, one NTP Server, using IP address, is supported.
Note that some NTP servers don't respond to PING commands, which causes the NTP server diagnostic check to fail at the end of the initial ePrism 500 configuration. You can ignore this failure, or pick an NTP server that responds to PING.
The links below will help you find an NTP server if you don't already know of one.
Here is an overview of using time services from NIST (PDF). It is oriented toward Windows 2000 and XP users in particular but is a good explanation of national time services in general.
Here is a link to an NTP web site.
