Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
The clock supplies accurate date and time information to the system. It can be set to run with
or without a connection to a network time server (SNTP). It can be configured to display local
time by setting the time zone and daylight saving in the Time web page.
If an SNTP server connection is available, the clock can be set to synchronize with the server
time at regular intervals. For secure applications, the PTP 700 can be configured to authenticate
received NTP messages using an MD5 signature.
