SNTP Time Server
A Simple Network Time Protocol Server is a network device that
maintains time for all devices, BACnet included, connected to a local area network. The
KMD-5551E translator receives these time messages and rebroadcasts them as a BACnet
time service message. The BACnet time messages can be sent hourly, daily, weekly, or
monthly.

preferred method when the building automation system crosses time zones.

Local time
The translator sends time sync messages in local time from which
devices update their internal clock.
