3.Next to the Client Mode field, select Unicast or Broadcast:

•Unicast. SNTP operates in a point-to-point fashion. A unicast client sends a request to a designated server at its unicast address and expects a reply from which it can determine the time and, optionally the round-trip delay and local clock offset relative to the server.

•Broadcast. SNTP operates in the same manner as multicast mode but uses a local broadcast address instead of a multicast address. The broadcast address has a single subnet scope while a multicast address has Internet wide scope.

4.Optionally, configure the following settings to non-default values:

•Port. The local UDP port to listen for responses/broadcasts.

•Unicast Poll Interval. The interval, in seconds, between unicast poll requests expressed as a power of two when configured in unicast mode.

•Broadcast Poll Interval. The interval, in seconds, between broadcast poll requests expressed as a power of two when configured in broadcast mode. Broadcasts received prior to the expiry of this interval are discarded.

•Unicast Poll Timeout. The timeout value, in seconds, to wait for an SNTP response when configured in unicast mode.

•Unicast Poll Retry. The number of times to retry a request to an SNTP server after the first time-out before attempting to use the next configured server when configured in unicast mode.
