SNTP Settings
The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) enables the notion of time (date, month, time) into the Mediatrix
1204. 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 SNMP, as described in “Chapter 20 - SNTP Settings” on page 239 .

To set the SNTP client of the Mediatrix 1204:
1. In the SNTP section of the Network Settings page, select Enable in the SNTP Enable choices.
Figure 18: SNTP Section
2. Select the configuration source of the SNTP information in the SNTP Source choices.
3. If the SNTP source is Static , enter the following static IP information.
4. Enter a valid string in the SNTP Timezone field.
The format of the string is validated upon entry. Invalid entries are refused. The default value is:
EST5DST4,M4.1.0/02:00:00,M10.5.0/02:00:00
A POSIX string is a set of standard operating system interfaces based on the UNIX operating
system. The format of the IEEE 1003.1 POSIX string is defined in the <bootp-dhcp-option-88.txt>
Internet draft as:
STDOFFSET[DST[OFFSET],[START[/TIME],END[/TIME]]]
Note:
The current configuration file server information is displayed in the Current Configuration section.

Table 27: Network Settings Configuration Sources
Source Description
Static You manually enter the value and it remains the same every time the Mediatrix 1204
restarts. Use the static configuration if you are not using a DHCP server or if you want
to bypass it.
DHCP The value is obtained at start-time by querying a DHCP server and using standard
DHCP fields or options. Using the DHCP configuration assumes that you have properly
set your DHCP server with the relevant information. See
“Chapter 8 - IP Address and
Network Configuration” on page 117 for more details.
Table 28: SNTP Static Address
Field Description
