Install NTP

HOWTO install NTP on your Vera.

Prerequisites

• Vera 2 hardware
• Root acces to your OpenWRT

Introduction

Heres a short manual on how to install NTP to your Vera 2. Out of the box your new Vera 2 does not use NTP (Network Time Protocol) for its timer updates, but uses the less commonly used Rdate. However, NTP support and personalisation can be added after market. Here is how:

Instructions

01.Gain ssh access to your vera2 (root) and use the password that is provided on the bottom of your vera2. More info on how to can be found here:[1]
02. Then run the following commands:

opkg update

opkg install ntpd

/etc/init.d/ntpd enable

/etc/init.d/ntpd start

03. To edit the ntp.conf file without using and editor like VI use the echo command like this;

echo "server "your servers ip or dns name" prefer" >> /etc/ntp.conf

04. (important to remove ONLY the quotes before and after your and name) To view the current entries in your ntp.conf type:

cat /etc/ntp.conf

05. To remove obsolete IP's or server names from the ntp.conf files type:

cat /etc/ntp.conf | grep -v "lines to remove" > /etc/ntp.conf.new

06. Check the newly created file using this command:

cat /etc/ntp.conf.new

07. Overwrite the existing file if all checks out using:

mv /etc/ntp.conf.new /etc/ntp.conf

08. Double check the newly created ntp.conf file by typing:

cat /etc/ntp.conf

09. Restart the NTP service

/etc/init.d/ntpd restart

10. OR reboot/powercycle your vera
