• Synchronization with an external Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server.
SNTP is a reduced accuracy version of NTP. The protocol fields are the same, but the
data values and algorithms used have reduced accuracy so that it can be
implemented on limited capacity systems.

Date/Time Screen
SNTP Operation supports connection to one or more external SNTP time servers
via the NMS network.
• The server is identified by its IP address. When first configuring the time server
option, the Synchronize Now button should be used, which will immediately reset
the terminal time to the server time.
• Thereafter the built-in SNTP client automatically establishes connection to the time
server each hour.
