Working with SNTP
The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) feature synchronizes the
Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) to an accuracy within 1 second. This
feature adheres to the IEEE RFC 2030 (MIB is the s5agent). With this
feature, the system can obtain the time from any RFC 2030-compliant
NTP/SNTP server.
The system retries connecting with the NTP server a maximum of 3 times,
with 5 minutes between each retry. If the connection fails after the 3
attempts, the system waits for the next synchronization time (the default is
24 hours) and begins the process again.
Configuring SNTP
The SNTP_Clock dialog box contains the parameters for configuring Simple
Network Time Protocol (SNTP).
To open the SNTP_clock dialog box, use the following procedure:
