System Time on Operator Station

Running DeltaV 13.3.1

The ProPlus is synced to the local microsemi NTP and the time is correct.

One of our operator stations is off by about 30 minutes from the proplus. 

When viewing the station in DeltaV Diagnostics, the value for NTPServer is "None"
On the other stations, this is set to the ProPlus host name.

How can I set this station to sync to the pro plus?

  To clarify,
  I was hoping there was a mechanism to set the time for a single station.
  
  I read the following in Books Online which leads me to believe it is a sitewide broadcast. Something I'll probably wait to do, if that is indeed the case.
  
  By default, system time is derived from the same internal clock used by the Windows Date and Time utility. However, to synchronize system time for all workstations and controllers on the DeltaV Control Network, you must run deltav\bin\SystemTime.exe to open the DeltaV System Time dialog. By clicking the Apply button in the DeltaV System Time dialog, time and date settings are applied to the Master Time Server node, which broadcasts them to all workstations and controllers on the DeltaV Control Network.

  If redundant communication is enabled on operator station, then please check secondary communication. If operator station secondary communication not healthy, it wont sync with PROPLUS station at NTP

  Thanks Faisal, I checked the secondary network to the operator station and it is healthy
