2.5.4 Other: Time Server (NTP)

The MTX-StarEnergy-M has a real-time clock inside that allows it to keep the time even after power loss.

Periodically, this internal clock needs to be synchronized with time servers through the NTP protocol if

you want to keep the device on time.

• Enabled

: check this box if you want to use NTP time servers

• NTP Server 1

: IP or DNS address of time server 1

• NTP Server 2

: IP address or DNS of time server 2

• Time Zone

: specify the time zone

ADDITIONAL NOTES

•

Once the configuration is finished, press the “SAVE CONFIG” button to save the changes.
