The Simple Network Time Protocol is used to synchronize time with IP SIP Phone . If you
set SNTP server to Anycast mode, the phone will send SNTP query to LAN broadcast address.
Otherwise, it sends a request to the specified SNTP / NTP server, extracting the reported time
from the reply, and overwrites the phone’s time. Typically, SNTP / NTP servers operating in
broadcast mode send update messages every 64 to 1024 seconds. The default time on system
starting up is 00:00, January 1, 1970, GMT.
