Verifying access to an NTP server

This procedure verifies that a provided NTP server is reachable and responding. It cannot be used while NTP is enabled on the controller.

You are using Workbench and are connected to the remote controller. You know the domain name or IP address of the public NTP server the controller is attempting to connect to.
  1. Disable NTP for the controller.
  2. Expand Config > Services > PlatformServices, right-click NtpPlatformServiceQnx and click Actions > Sync Now.
    The Sync Now window opens.

  3. Type in the fully qualified domain name of a public NTP server or the IP address of any accessible NTP server and click OK.
  4. To verify, do one of the following:
    • Right-click the station in the Nav tree, select Spy > platform diagnostics > log.
    • Click File > Open ord (Ctrl + L) and enter: ip:<controller_IP_address>|fox:|spy:/platform diagnostics/log, where the variable name <controller_IP_address> is the controller’s IP address, and press enter.
