SNTP
Time synchronization is an essential element for any business that relies on an IT system. The reason for this
is that these systems all have clocks that are the source of time for files or operations they handle. Without
time synchronization, virtual server scheduled processes can fail..
There are two methods of time synchronize time, synchronize with PC or SNTPv4. If you choose synchronize
with PC, the AM2 will synchronize with the PC. If you choose SNTPv4, the AM2 will use the protocol to
synchronize with the time server. Synchronization with time server, SNTP v4, needs to configure service,
time_server and time_zone. Synchronization with PC does not need to configure the above parameters.
