3.5.5 SNTP
Time synchronization is an essential element for any business that relies on an IT system. The reason for this is that these systems all have clocks that are the source of time for files or operations they handle. Without time synchronization, time on these systems varies with each other or with the correct time and this can cause- virtual server schedule processes to fail and system log exposures with wrong data. There are two methods to synchronize time, synchronize with PC or SNTPv4. If you choose synchronize with PC, GRT series will synchronize with PC. If you choose SNTPv4, GRT series will use the protocol to synchronize with the time server.
Move the cursor “ >> “ to sntp and press enter.
