Dolby DSS Server not keeping proper time
The Dolby server synchronizes with a NTP server (master time clock) when it boots up. If a server is left on for an extended period the time clock will drift. We suggest a weekly reboot of the server. This will synchronize the clock to the correct time and also clear out any junk left in the memory.
If the server does not display the correct time after a reboot it has likely lost communications with the NTP server. This could be a network issue or the NTP server itself is not responding. You can verify the NTP server with one of the two tools below:
If you know the IP address of the NTP server, you can test its response with NTPQuery
If you need to locate the IP address of accessible NTP servers, you can use NTPScan
