GMT Reference (Greenwich Mean Time)
GMT Minute Offset - Is used to synchronize the time of day between the gateway and SNPT Server
(
"SNTP Configuration Fields"
). If the gateway is located in the US Central Time zone and the
server is too then type in -360. The US Central Time is minus 6 hours from GMT, therefore your
calculation would be -6 (hours) x 60 (minutes) = -360 minutes.
