Protocol

This pulldown identifies the type of time server protocol to use. In most cases,
the time server being used will dictate the protocol type. UNIX servers gener-
ally use Timed. Windows servers generally use SNTP (Simple Network
Time Protocol). The default is Timed.

Server IP Address

This field is used to specify the IP address of the primary time server. It is
recommended that you use a time server which is local to your network.

Backup IP Address

This field is used to specify the IP address of the backup time server. All time
requests go to the primary server first. If there is no response the backup will
be used. This address is optional.

Offset from Server

Most time servers return GMT. You can use this option to set the device to
local time. Accepted values range from -720 to 720 minutes.
