SNTP Settings
The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) enables the notion of time (date, month, time) into the Mediatrix
4104. It updates the internal clock of the unit, which is the client of a SNTP server. It is required when dealing
with features such as the caller ID.
SNTP is used to synchronize a SNTP client with a SNTP or NTP server by using UDP as transport.
You can also set these parameters via the web interface, as described in “SNTP Settings” on page 35 .
