Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-centric update mechanisms (Microsoft Update server, Windows Server Update Services/WSUS) and defaulting to time.windows.com as the NTP server. There are no mentions of Linux equivalents (such as Linux update repositories or ntp.org), nor are there examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users. The documentation assumes a Windows-based infrastructure for updates and time synchronization, which may create friction for users in Linux-centric environments.
Recommendations
  • Include guidance for configuring updates from Linux-based update servers or repositories, if supported.
  • Mention alternative public NTP servers (e.g., pool.ntp.org) and provide examples for configuring them.
  • Clarify whether the device can integrate with non-Windows update infrastructure, and provide instructions if possible.
  • Present examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS environments, or clarify platform limitations.
  • Avoid defaulting to Windows-specific services in examples; offer cross-platform alternatives.
