DESCRIPTION

This field displays your device type.

 

 

Use Time Server

Select the time service protocol that the timeserver uses. Not all time servers

When Bootup

support all protocols, so you may have to use trial and error to find a protocol

 

that works. The main differences between them are the time format.

 

When you select the Daytime (RFC 867) format, the switch displays the day,

 

month, year and time with no time zone adjustment. When you use this format it

 

is recommended that you use a Daytime timeserver within your geographical

 

time zone. Time (RFC-868)format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total

 

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

 

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

 

None is the default value. Enter the time manually. Each time you turn on the

 

device, the time and date will be reset to 2000-1-1 0:0.

 

 

Time Server IP

Enter the IP address of your timeserver. The device searches for the timeserver

Address

for up to 60 seconds.

volatile memory when you are done configuring.
