5.2.8 SNTP

Overview The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) web page allows you to configure the

SpeedTouch™ real-time clock.

The page contains two sections:

SNTP Client

Manual

Selecting Manual immediately disables the SpeedTouch™ SNTP client. As a ! consequence the SpeedTouch™ real-time clock will no longer be periodically

synchronised with an Internet time server.

SNTP Client As long as the SNTP section is selected, automatic time synchronisation of the SpeedTouch™ real-time clock by means of the SpeedTouch™ SNTP client is guaranteed (given that NTP servers are configured of course).

The SNTP table allows you to overview and add/delete NTP servers (present on the Internet or your local network) to which the SpeedTouch™ real-time clock is able to synchronize its time settings with.

To add an NTP server:

1Click New (if an entry is currently selected, click Cancel first)

2Type the host name or IP address of the NTP server.

You can check the Internet for free accessible real-time NTP servers.

3Select the NTP version (1, 2, 3, or 4). This information is most likely provided with the NTP server's IP address.

4Click Apply.

You can add multiple NTP servers. This ensures that the SpeedTouch™ SNTP client will always be able to contact at least one NTP server to synchronize the SpeedTouch™ real-time clock with.

Manual You can manually configure the SpeedTouch™'s real-time clock in case no connection to an NTP server is available.

To manually configure the SpeedTouch™ real-time clock:

1Type the current Date (day/month/year)

2Type the current Time (hour:minutes:seconds in 24-hour clock)

3Select the Time Zone suiting your physical regional location.

4Select Daylight saving to adjust the SpeedTouch™ real-time clock to daylight saving time, if used in your region.

5Click Apply to apply the time settings to the SpeedTouch™ real-time clock.
