Procedure
1.
Click the "SNTP Client" check box to enable the automatic time setting.
2.
In the "Time Zone" input box, enter the local time difference to world time (UTC). The
input format is "+/-HH:MM" (for e02:00 for CEST), because the SNTP server
always sends the UTC time. This time is then recalculated and displayed as the local time
based on the specified time zone. On the device itself, there is no changeover from the
daylight saving to standard time. You also need to take this into account when completing
the "Time Zone" input box.
3.
Select one of the following options from the "SNTP Mode" drop-down list:
–
Poll
For this mode, you need to configure the following:
- time zone difference (step 2)
- time server (step 4)
- Port (step 5)
- query interval (step 6)
- complete the configuration with step 7.
–
Listen
For this mode, you need to configure the following:
- time difference to the time sent by the server (step 2)
- complete the configuration with step 7.
4.
In the "SNTP Server Address" input box, enter the IP address or the FQDN name of the
SNTP server whose frames will be used to synchronize the time of day.
5.
In the "SNTP Server Port" input box, enter the port via which the SNTP server is
available. The port can only be modified if the IP address or the FQDN name of the SNTP
server is entered.
6.
In the "Poll Interval[s]" input box, enter the time in seconds after which a new time query
is sent to the time server.
7.
Click the "Set Values" button to transfer your changes to the device.
