SNTP Client General Configuration Parameters
The general configuration parameters for the SNTP client are for selecting your timezone and setting the poll-
ing parameters for the client’s transmit packets.
•
Current Timezone: select the appropriate time zone and click on the Set New Timezone button.
The next three parameters configure the polling and synchronization process.
•
Timeout value - The SNTP client will wait for the configured number of seconds of having no response
from the server before retrying to send another time synchronization request. The maximum timeout value
is 30 seconds. Default value is 5 seconds.
•
Packet retries - When no response (after the timeout period) is received from the SNTP server, the Black
Box will send another request for the number times configured in this parameter. The maximum number of
retries is 10. Default value is 2.
•
Polling value (in minutes) - The SNTP client will automatically send a time synchronization request period-
ically. If set to zero (0), the polling mechanism is disabled. The maximum value is 30 (minutes).

System Clock Setting
If you are not using a Stratum clock with the SNTP feature, you can still configure the internal system clock
for a calendar date and time. This parameter is on the same web page as the SNTP Client configuration. The
format is:
<Year(4 digits)> <Month(2 digits)> <Day(2 digits)> <Hour(2 digits)> <Minutes(2 digits).> <Seconds(2 digits)>
The example in
figure 85
is set for January 26, 2006, at 1:57:50 pm.

After entering the system clock values, click on the Set Clock button to save in volatile memory.
If the Black Box is rebooted, either soft or by power-cycling, the Clock Setting returns to its default value.
