Use Time Server
When Bootup
Enter the time service protocol that a timeserver uses. Not all timeservers support
all protocols, so you may have to use trial and error to find a protocol that works.
The main differences between them are the time format.
Daytime (RFC 867) format is day/month/year/time zone of the server.
Time (RFC-868) format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total number of
seconds since 1970/1/1 at 0:0:0.
NTP (RFC-1305) is similar to Time (RFC-868).
None is the default value. Enter the time manually. Each time you turn on the
AAM, the time and date will be reset to 2000-1-1 0:0.
Time Server IP
Address
Enter the IP address (or URL if you configure a domain name server in the IP
Setup screen) of your timeserver. The AAM searches for the timeserver for up to
60 seconds. If you select a timeserver that is unreachable, then this screen will
appear locked for 60 seconds. Please wait.
Current Time This field displays the time you open this menu (or refresh the menu).
New Time
(hh:min:ss)
Enter the new time in hour, minute and second format. The new time then appears
in the Current Time field after you click Apply .
