6.9 Fault Relay Alarm

The Fault Relay Alarm function provides the Power Failure and Port Link Down/Broken detection.
With both power input 1 and power input 2 installed and the check boxes of power 1/power 2 ticked,
the FAULT LED indicator will then be possible to light up when any one of the power failures occurs.
As for the Port Link Down/Broken detection, the FAULT LED indicator will light up when the port
failure occurs; certainly the check box beside the port must be ticked first. Please refer to the segment
of ‘

Wiring the Fault Alarm Contact’ for the failure detection.

6.10 SNTP Configuration

SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) is a simplified version of NTP which is an Internet protocol used
to synchronize the clocks of computers to some time reference. Because time usually just advances, the
time on different node stations will be different. With the communicating programs running on those
devices, it would cause time to jump forward and back, a non-desirable effect. Therefore, the switch
provides comprehensive mechanisms to access national time and frequency dissemination services,
organize the time-synchronization subnet and the local clock in each participating subnet peer.
Daylight saving time (DST) is the convention of advancing clocks so that afternoons have more daylight
and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are
adjusted backward in autumn.
