To change the date and time:
1 Make sure that the SNTP client is disabled on the target appliances. There are two ways to disable the 

SNTP client setting: from the Appliance editor’s Advanced tab, or from the Edit menu, Multiple 
Configurations > SNTP Client.

2 In the Appliance Manager, select the target appliances in the Appliances view.
3 On  the  Edit menu, click Date. 
4 In the New Date window, enter the new date and time,. 
5 Click Apply to immediately apply the new date and time to the target appliances. The result is 

displayed for each appliance. If ETEMS is unable to update the appliance’s clock, it displays the 
reason for the failure.

When editing the configuration of a single appliance, use the appliance editor to make changes to all 
settings other than management IP address, password, and date and time.

To edit the configuration of a single appliance: 
1 In the Appliance Manager, select an appliance in the Appliances view.
2 On  the  Edit menu, click Configuration. 
3 In the appliance editor, modify the configuration settings. To change all of the values to their defaults, 

click Use Defaults. 

4 When you are done, do one of the following:

●

Click OK to save your changes and close the appliance editor.

editing each appliance individually. Settings that are supported by the multiple appliance editor are:
