Solution Prerequisites
Time Synchronization
An important consideration is time synchronization between related components. Communication between EFCX Connector and client applications. If the system dates and time are not synchronized the system can produce unpredictable results. Therefore, please make every effort to adhere to the following time synchronization guidelines:
EFCX Connector and client applications should have their Time Zone and time configured properly according to the geographic region and synchronized. To configure the time zone, please see the instructions from the hardware or software manufacturer of NTP server. Client applications and EFCX Connector should be synchronized to the second. This synchronization should be maintained continuously and validated regularly. For security reasons, Network Time Protocol (NTP) V 4.1+ is recommended.
