Keeping the time consistency between the U2000 Web LCT and NEs is very important for troubleshooting and network monitoring. You should set the U2000 Web LCT time and NE time before service configuration.
Time Synchronization Schemes for the U2000 Web LCT and NEs
With the time synchronization function, consistency is maintained between the NE time and the U2000 Web LCT server time. In this way, the U2000 Web LCT is able to record the correct time at which alarms occur and the correct time at which the abnormal events are reported by NEs.
Synchronizing the NE Time with the U2000 Web LCT Server Manually
In the case of NEs that do not have the NTP service configured, you need to check whether the NE time is consistent with the U2000 Web LCT server time, so that the U2000 Web LCT can correctly record the time of alarm generation. Otherwise, manually synchronize the NE time with the time of the U2000 Web LCT server.
Configuring the Standard NTP Key
On the U2000 Web LCT, you can use the standard network time protocol (NTP) service to automatically synchronize the NE time with the standard NTP server time. To ensure that a reliable server is accessed, the NTP authentication function must be started. In this case, you need to set the key and password, which are authenticated together to check whether the server is reliable.
