Time Protocol

Select the time service protocol that your time server 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 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).

 

 

Time Server

Address

your time server. Check with your ISP/network administrator if you are unsure of

 

this information.
