Results

  • If the scanner time drifts out of synchronization with the actual time, it is probable that the Network Time Protocol server was not configured to synchronize time with the MR scanner. Please consult with your service engineer to properly configure the Network Time Protocol server.
  • If your MR system is configured with Network Time Protocol server, any date or time setting done in Guided Install will be overridden with the time supplied by the Network Time Protocol server.
