6.1 Communication protocols
6.1.1 NTP
When enabled, the NTP (Network Time Protocol) service can use external time sources to synchronize
the device's system time. The NTP client service uses an Ethernet connection to connect to the NTP
time server. NTP can be enabled by setting the primary time server and the secondary time server
parameters to the address of the system's NTP time source(s).
