Changing the Date and Time
Ordinarily, all EncrypTight components should be synchronized with an NTP server. However, if an NTP
server becomes unavailable or unreachable for a significant length of time, the time on your PEPs can
drift out of sync significantly. The best option in this situation is to select a different, reachable NTP
server.

If this is not possible, you can temporarily disable the SNTP client on the PEPs and change the time and
date on the PEPs from the ETEMS Appliance Manager. You can change the time and date for a specific
PEP or multiple PEPs. If the selected PEPs are ETEP PEPs or include a mix of appliance models, enter
the date and time relative to UTC.
