Chapter 3: 9150 Main Configuration
SNTP
3.4.5 SNTP
SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) is the protocol that enables the network to
maintain an accurate system time. The SNTP Parameters “Configure” page, entered
from the Configuration Main Menu page, allows the user to set the options.
Enabled
When this checkbox is enabled (√), the 9150 automatically sends requests to the
SNTP server to retrieve the time in GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) format. The 9150
then sets the current local time using the Time Zone Offset value (see page 47).
The default is enabled.
Server Address
This parameter contains the IP address of the SNTP server. If the server address is
specified, the 9150 sends unicast messages to the server to retrieve the time. If the
address is not specified (i.e. 0.0.0.0.), the 9150 retrieves the broadcast messages.
The default value is 0.0.0.0.
Refresh Rate
This parameter contains the interval, in minutes, at which the 9150 retrieves
the time. The range of values is 1 to 1440 minutes. The default value is 60.
Time Zone Offset
The Time Zone Offset is the difference between the GMT and the local time where
the 9150 is located. If you are not sure of your time zone offset, you can get the
GMT by using the console command “ ?T ” five minutes after booting up the 9150.
