SMC Networks SMC2404WBR manual How does the Barricade determine the time?

(Where the "XXX" refers to the IP Address of the server doing the Hosting and the space in-between the # and the name is made by hitting the "tab" key.)

Q.How does the Barricade determine the time?

A.The Barricade is obtaining the correct time from the internet using SNTP protocol. So the

gateway can get the time from NTP server in the internet.

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)

The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is an adaptation of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) used to synchronize computer clocks in the Internet. SNTP can be used when the ultimate performance of the full NTP implementation described in RFC-1305 is not needed or justified. It can operate in both unicast modes (point-to-point) and broadcast modes (point-to- multipoint). It can also operate in IP multicast mode where this service is available. SNTP involves no change to the current or previous NTP specification versions or known implementations, but rather a clarification of certain design features of NTP which allow operation in a simple, stateless remote-procedure call (RPC) mode with accuracy and reliability expectations similar to the UDP/TIME protocol described in RFC-868.

Troubleshooting: ISP Specific

Q.@Home Services (Comcast@Home, At&t@Home, etc.)

A. You need to obtain your exact HOST NAME from the ISP. Many @home service NO LONGER use host names, however, this varies from ISP to ISP. You can contact your provider for more info or you can follow the directions below:
