Synchronize via Select one of the following:

Broadcast from NTP Server: Enables the EMG unit to accept time
information periodically transmitted by the NTP server. This is the default if
you enable NTP.

Poll NTP Server: Enables the EMG to query the NTP Server for the correct
time. If you select this option, complete one of the following:

Local: Select this option if the NTP servers are on a local network, and
enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address of up to three NTP servers. This is the
default, and it is highly recommended.

Public: Select this option if you want to use a public NTP server, and select
the address of the NTP server from the drop-down list. This is not
recommended because of the high load on many public NTP servers. All
servers in the drop-down list are stratum-2 servers. (See www.ntp.org for
more information.) Each public NTP server has its own usage rules --please
refer to the appropriate web site before using one. Our listing them here is
to provide easy configuration but does not indicate any permission for use.
