Time synchronization via SNTP
You can use this parameter to activate time synchronization using an SNTP
time server.
SNTP time server
You can use this parameter to enter the IP address of a SNTP time server. If
you are using a time server, the device uses the time of the time server as

up the time from the time server.

rameter to set the time shift to UTC.
