Description

SNTP is a time protocol that maintains a common time among Internet hosts. There are 4 menu items available for configuring SNTP settings:

zSNTP client on this host is—Enables or disables SNTP. If Enabled is selected, the system attempts to contact the primary and secondary SNTP servers for the exact time. If AI232 is unable to contact either the primary or secondary SNTP server, it uses the local time maintained by AI232. If Disabled is selected, the system uses the local time maintained by AI232.

zPrimary SNTP Server—Defines the IP address of the first SNTP server from which AI232 will attempt to retrieve the exact time.

zSecondary SNTP Server—Defines the IP address of the second SNTP server from which AI232 will attempt to retrieve the exact time.



Note: The SNTP client must be enabled before the primary or secondary SNTP server can be defined.

zSNTP Poll Interval (minutes)—Defines the time interval (in minutes) for AI232 to poll the SNTP servers.
