Configuration sequence
•
Activate the SNTP function (Enable)
•
Set the desired time zone with "UTC Offset"
•
Under "Pollinterval", select the time slot pattern in which the system time is to be
updated
•
Select the operating mode. Either:
Unicast Mode
: The client receives its time from a fixed primary server.
Broadcast Mode
: The client receives its time from broadcast messages, which were
transmitted by an NTP server and sent to several clients.
Manycast Mode
: The client sends a broadcast message to several NTP servers. The
client selects the best response from the servers and then operates in unicast mode.
For the times in the event table, for example, make sure that the system time corresponds
to Greenwich Mean Time. The current local time is based on the system time and the "UTC
Offset".
