DESCRIPTION

 

 

Time Server

 

 

 

Use Protocol when

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

Bootup

Prestige. 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.

 

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

 

Select None to enter the time and date manually.

 

 

IP Address or URL

Enter the IP address or URL of your time server. Check with your ISP/network

 

administrator if you are unsure of this information.

Time and Date

Choose the time zone of your location. This will set the time difference between

 

your time zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

Daylight Savings

Select this option if you use daylight savings time. Daylight saving is a period from

 

late spring to early fall when many countries set their clocks ahead of normal local

 

time by one hour to give more daytime light in the evening.

Start Date

Enter the month and day that your daylight-savings time starts on if you selected

 

Daylight Savings.

End Date

Enter the month and day that your daylight-savings time ends on if you selected

 

Daylight Savings.

Synchronize

Select this option to have your Prestige use the time server (that you configured

system clock with

above) to set its internal system clock.

Time Server now.

Please wait for up to 60 seconds while the Prestige locates the time server. If the

 

Prestige cannot find the time server, please check the time server protocol and its

 

IP address. If the IP address was entered correctly, try pinging it for example to

 

test the connection.
