Use Time Server
When Bootup Enter the time service protocol that a timeserver sends when you turn on the switch. Not all
timeservers support all protocols, so you may have to use trial and error to find a protocol that
works. The main differences between them are the time format.
When you select the Daytime (RFC 867) format, the switch displays the day, month, year and
time with no time zone adjustment. When you use this format, it is recommended that you use
a Daytime timeserver within your geographical time zone.
Time (RFC-868) format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total number of seconds since
1970/1/1 at 0:0:0.
NTP (RFC-1305) is similar to Time (RFC-868).
None is the default value. Enter the time manually. Each time you turn on the switch, the time
and date will be reset to 1970-1-1 0:0.
Time Server IP
Address Enter the IP address (or URL if you configure a domain name server in the IP Setup screen) of
your timeserver. The switch searches for the timeserver for up to 60 seconds. If you select a
timeserver that is unreachable, then this screen will appear locked for 60 seconds. Please
wait.
Current Time This field displays the time you open this menu (or refresh the menu).
New Time
(hh:min:ss) Enter the new time in hour, minute and second format. The new time then appears in the
Current Time field after you click Apply.
Current Date This field displays the date you open this menu.
