SNTP Configuration
SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) is a simplified version of NTP, that is an Internet protocol
used to synchronize the clocks of computers with a selected time reference. Because time usually
just advances, the time on different node stations might be different. With the communicating
programs running on those devices, it would cause time to jump forward and back, an undesirable
effect. Therefore, the CNGE2FE16MS provides comprehensive mechanisms to access national
time and frequency dissemination services, organize the time-synchronization subnet and the local
clock in each participating subnet peer.
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the convention of advancing clocks so that afternoons have more
daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of
spring and are adjusted backward in autumn.
