3.14 NTP Server

The NTP Server page of your Configuration Manager lets you

enter the address of an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server,

from which the modem can get the official current time.

The ADSL Ethernet has a built-in client program that sends

periodic Network Time Protocol (NTP) requests to a server,
obtains server time stamps and uses them to adjust the network

clocks.
For a list of free servers worldwide, check this web site:

www.ntp-servers.com/uk/world-time-server.html

For a list of US servers, go to this site:

http://tf.nist.gov/timefreq/service/time-servers.html.

Be sure to select a server in your time zone.
