Timezone and NTP Server
You may also change the timezone for your node's system time, as well as entering the URL for a `Network Time Protocol (NTP) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol>`_ source if your node is connected to a network which has a network time server. In the *NTP Server* field you should enter a valid URL for the network time source, for example `us.pool.ntp.org` or `AD5BC-ntp.local.mesh`. If your node is unable to connect to the specified NTP server then it will briefly search for another NTP server which might be available on your local mesh network.

If your node is unable to connect to the NTP server specified here then it will briefly search for another NTP service which might be defined on your local mesh network. The node hosting that service must enter its Advertised Service with "NTP" as part of the service name. The protocol should be set to "ntp://", the URL should point to the host providing the service, and the port should be set to "123", the standard NTP port. For example, ``ntp://ab7pa-box2.local.mesh:123`` would identify the NTP server portion of the Advertised Service. See the **Configuration Deep Dive** section for additional information about Advertised Services.
