DHCP or PPPoE. If it’s not required, you can leave the default value 0.
Use Time Server
When Bootup Select the time service protocol that the timeserver uses. Not all time
servers 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.
When you select the Daytime (RFC 867) format, the switch displays
the day, month, year and time with no time zone adjustment. When
you use this format it is recommended that you use a Daytime
timeserver within your geographical time zone. 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 device, the time and date will be reset to 2000-1-1 0:0.
Time Server IP
Address Enter the IP address of your timeserver. The device searches for the
timeserver for up to 60 seconds.
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.
Current Date This field displays the date you open this menu.
New Date (yyyy-
mm-dd) Enter the new date in year, month and day format. The new date then
appears in the Current Date field after you click Apply.

formerly known as GMT, Greenwich Mean Time) and your time zone
from the drop-down list box.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the SAM1316-22’s volatile

loses power, so use the Config Save link on the navigation panel to
save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done
configuring.
