Service 49
The following settings can be configured.
SNTP client enable/disable
Click enable or disable.
If it is disabled, the user has to input time manually.
If it is enabled, the device will try to fetch time from configured SNTP servers.
Set Time | Specify Year, Month, Day, Hour, and Minute. |
| These fields are grayed out and |
| SNTP is enabled. |
Timezone selection | This selection adjusts the time obtained from the |
| SNTP server. |
| Note: This selection does not affect manual time |
| input as they are considered to be input at the |
| same time. |
Daylight Saving | The start/end date of daylight saving changes |
| automatically based on the time zone selection. |
| Note: Start and End dates can be input manually, |
| to avoid any regional policy changes. |
Primary and | If SNTP is enabled, this device will try to fetch |
Secondary SNTP | time from the Primary server first. The timeout for |
server/port setting | Primary NTP server is 5 seconds. |
| If the Primary NTP server fails after 5 seconds the |
| Secondary NTP server will be tried for 5 seconds. |
| In the event that the Secondary server fails, the |
| device will wait for 60 seconds before trying the |
| Primary server again. This continues until a time is |
| available. |
To avoid using an invalid NTP server address, this device stores the fetched/configured time. After it boots up, it uses the stored time first and adjusts time if time is fetched.
