Manage NTAs
View and modify available NTAs
What is this?
The Manage NTA option provides a quick and convenient method to add, change or
delete any NTA that has been created.
A powerful feature of the Manage NTA option is the ability to make changes to an
AutoTime NTA, such as adding a new connection test or changing an existing

name selected. For example, if you had an AutoTime NTA running in a 100 remote
offices, you could uninstall all 100 NTAs with a single click request.
