Checking the Time on New Appliances
After importing configurations to ETEMS and pushing them to the appliances, refresh the appliance
status. In the Appliances View check the date and time of the new appliances. If any of the new
appliances’ timestamps differ from the management station’s time by more than five minutes, edit the
appliance to correct the date and time (Edit > Date). When the appliance time differs from actual time by
more than several minutes, the appliance can have trouble synchronizing with the NTP time server. Time
synchronization is essential for proper operation in an EncrypTight deployment.

shutdown may lead to file system corruption and potential appliance failure. The shut down option is
available only on ETEP appliances.
