DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

Time Protocol

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

 

 

 

ZyAIR. 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.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

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