What do the error messages in Inspera mean?

Clock accuracy error

This error appears if your computer clock and global clock do not match. You may need to ensure that your clock is synched to the correct global time.

  • If you have manually set the time on your device, you may need to instead sync your clock with a global clock server. 
  • Try opening the date and time settings on your device and synching with the Windows or Mac Servers.
  • Sync the device clock with a new server. Inspera uses Google's NTP server: time.google.com
  • You may need to allow access through the firewall: NTP is on port 123 and TCP & UDP.
