SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol)

SNTP allows a network entity to communicate with time servers in the network/internet to retrieve and synchronize time
of day information. When this feature is enabled, the AP will attempt to retrieve the time of day information from the
configured time servers (primary or secondary), and, if successful, will update the relevant time objects in the AP.
Requests are sent every 10 seconds. If the AP fails to retrieve the information after three attempts, the AP will use the
system uptime and update the relevant time objects. If this feature is disabled, the user can manually configure the date
and time parameters.
