DESCRIPTION

 

 

Time Protocol

Select the time service protocol that your time server sends when you turn on the

 

HomeSafe. 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 difference between them is 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 None to enter the time and date manually.

Address
