If you do not want to synchronize the local time with an internal or external server, you can set
•
the device’s clock manually using SNTP Client page
From the left-hand 5. Admin menu, click on Time Zone . The following page is displayed:
Parameters on the sntp client page:
•
DayLightSaving:
•
Several polar countries adjust there time by one hour in winters to make
better use of daylight. This adjustment is called daylight saving. Different countries perform
daylight saving on different dates. If daylight saving is required, you can either manually adjust
the system clock on the required date, or you can configure IAD to do that automatically.
Mode:
•
SNTP client operates in one of three time synchronous access modes:
•
broadcast mode: the SNTP client waits for an NTP server to send out a broadcast
synchronization packet to the client. The client accepts the packet and sets the local time
based on the packet setting. As packets are accepted from servers located on the network,
this mode is generally used to synchronize local clocks.
•
unicast mode: configures the SNTP client to synchronize with a single NTP server that
has been added to the server association list (either manually or automatically). The client
sends a packet out to a particular server and waits for a response.
•
anycast mode: allows the SNTP client to synchronize with any NTP server that is
available. The client sends out a broadcast packet, accepts/binds to the first valid response,
synchronizes the local time and automatically adds the responding server to the server
association list. Future synchronization is carried out by sending packets to this server in
unicast mode.
