FIELD

DESCRIPTION

Time Protocol

Enter the time service protocol that your timeserver uses. Not all time servers

 

support all protocols, so you may have to check with your ISP/network

 

administrator or use trial and error to find a protocol that works. The main

 

differences between them are the format.

 

Daytime (RFC 867) format is day/month/year/time zone of the server.

 

Time (RFC-868)format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total number of

 

seconds since 1970/1/1 at 0:0:0.

 

The default, NTP (RFC-1305), is similar to Time (RFC-868).

 

Select Manual to enter the new time and new date manually.
