Get from Time
Server
Select this radio button to have the BCM50a Integrated Router get
the time and date from the time server that you specified.
Time Protocol Select the time service protocol that your time server sends when
you turn on the BCM50a Integrated Router. Not all time servers
support all protocols, so you need to check with your ISP or
network administrator or use trial and error to find a protocol that
works.
The main difference between the protocols is the format.
Daytime (RFC 867) format is day/month/year/time zone of the
server.
Time (RFC 868) format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total
number of seconds since 1970/1/1 at 0:0:0.
The default, NTP (RFC 1305), is similar to Time (RFC 868).
Time Server Address Enter the IP address or URL of your time server. Check with your
ISP or network administrator if you are unsure of this information.
Synchronize Now Click this button to have the BCM50a Integrated Router get the
time and date from a time server (see the Time Server Address
field). This also saves your changes (including the time server
address).
