•  Primary NTP Address:  Defines the IP address or domain name (up to 64 
characters long) for the primary NTP server.  (Default = undefined.)
Note:
In order to use domain names for web addresses, DNS parameters 
must first be defined as described in Section 5.9.5.
•  Secondary NTP Address:  Defines the IP address or domain name (up to 64 
characters long) for the secondary, fallback NTP Server.  (Default = undefined.)
Note:
In order to use domain names for web addresses, DNS parameters 
must be defined as described in Section 5.9.5.
•  NTP Timeout:  The amount of time in seconds, that will elapse between each 
attempt to contact the NTP server.  When the initial attempt is unsuccessful, 
the Outlet Managed PDU will retry the connection four times.  If neither the 
primary nor secondary NTP server responds, the Outlet Managed PDU will wait 
24 hours before attempting to contact the NTP server again.   
(Default = 3 Seconds.)
•  Test NTP Servers:  (Text Interface Only) Allows you to send a time request to 
the IP address or domain names defined via the Primary and Secondary NTP 
Address prompts, or to a new address or domain defined via the Test NTP 
Servers submenu.  The Outlet Managed PDU will not store the response from 
the IP address or domain, but will verify whether or not the target address or 
domain is an NTP Server.
5.3.2.  The Invalid Access Lockout Feature
When properly configured and enabled, the Invalid Access Lockout feature will 
watch all login attempts made at the Network Port and serial Setup Port.  If the port 
exceeds the selected number of invalid attempts, then the port where the Invalid 
Attempts occurred will be automatically disabled for a user-defined length of time 
(Lockout Duration.)  The lockout feature uses two separate counters to track invalid 
access attempts:
•  SetUp Port Counter:  Counts invalid access attempts at the Setup Port.  If 
the number of invalid attempts at the port exceeds the user-defined Lockout 
Attempts value, the port will be locked.
•  Telnet, SSH and Web Browser Counter:  Counts all invalid attempts to access 
command mode via Telnet, SSH or Web Browser interface.  If the number of 
cumulative invalid attempts exceeds the user-defined Lockout Attempts value, 
then the Network Port will be locked.
