6.8.8 Setup (Advanced) ► Time Source
To facilitate tracking of events in a network, the Paragon4 base station and the GeminiG3 unit can initial-
ize their real-time clocks using a number of protocols. At reset time, the Paragon4 unit can use the SNTP
protocol (RFC2030) to pick up the current UTC (Universal) time. Setting the “TimeZone” and “Daylight
Savings” options allows displaying the correct local time in the “Unit Identification and Status” page.
