Time synchronization for FOX515 NEs sets the local NE date and time to the date and time of the workstation the FOXMAN‑UN core is running on. This may be required after a change of date / time in the workstation or after the date / time of a NE has been modified locally via the local configuration software tool UCST.

Time synchronization of all NEs in the managed network is performed automatically every 24 hours at 03:01 via a 'cronjob' that is created at FOXMAN‑UN installation time.

The automatic synchronization can be stopped by a NEM administrator through editing the relevant “crontab” file.
