4.2.4 SNTP Configuration
In the System sub-function menu, you can see the SNTP Configuration (see Figure 4-4), by which you can configure the time
settings for the Managed Switch. You can specify SNTP Servers and set GMT Timezone. The SNTP Configuration screen in
Figure 4-2-4 appears.

The Time page includes the following fields:
Object Description
SNTP Server
Provide the IP address of the SNTP Server in dotted decimal notation.
Enter a user-defined SNTP server IP addresses or hostname. This is a text string
of up to 64 characters containing the encoded unicast IP address or hostname of
a SNTP server. Unicast SNTP requests will be sent to this address. If this
address is a DNS hostname, then that hostname should be resolved into an IP
address each time a SNTP request is sent to it.
Timezone Offset
Provide the timezone offset relative to UTC/GMT.
The offset is given in minutes east of GMT.
The valid range is from -720 to 720 minutes.
System Date
Display the current local date and time (UTC) of the last SNTP request or receipt
of an unsolicited message. The field format is Year-Month-Day HH : MM : SS.
For example, 2008-08-20 21:15:03
System Uptime
Display the time passed since the device boot up.
The device supports the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). SNTP assures accurate
network device clock time synchronization up to the millisecond. Time synchronization is
performed by a network SNTP server. SNTP operates only as a client, and cannot provide time
services to other systems.
