Goal

How to change the NTP server settings

Solution

A Microsoft Windows system should not be used as an NTP server for Unix/Linux clients as it will not work. The Axiom is a Linux NTP client.
The following Documents explain the reasons why:
NTP Sync Problem with Windows NTP Server and Linux NTP Client (Doc ID 2201343.1)
NTP sync problem with Microsoft Windows NTP server (clock dispersion) (Doc ID 1018671.1)

For an Axiom that is running software release 4.x and below:

Click on the "System" button at the top. Then click "Sumamry" on the left-hand side. Click on the Actions dropdown on the lower right and select Modify Time Settings. You can set/change the NTP settings on the "Modify System Time Settings" screen that opens.

For an Axiom that is running software release 5.x:
