When the NWA/WAC uses the pre-defined list of NTP time servers, it randomly selects one server
and tries to synchronize with it. If the synchronization fails, then the NWA/WAC goes through the
rest of the list in order from the first one tried until either it is successful or all the pre-defined NTP
time servers have been tried.

Sunday, October. The time you type in the at field depends on your time zone. In
Germany for instance, you would type 2 because Germany's time zone is one hour
