The SNTP tab

To enable the SpeedTouch™ SNTP client, select the SNTP TAB:

As long no NTP servers are configured, time will not be controlled by SNTP.

Proceed as follows to add an NTP server:

From now on, your SpeedTouch™’s internal clock will be synchronized every 5
minutes (default setting) with the NTP server.

Step

Action

1

Click New.

2

Enter the IP address or DNS hostname of an NTP server.

3

Specify the NTP version of the server.

4

Click Apply. This enables the SNTP client, which contacts the NTP server,
in order to synchronize the SpeedTouch™ internal clock with the NTP
server. If needed, you can correct the synchronized time by selecting
your geographical timezone, optionally by enabling or disabling
summertime

If needed you can enter additional redundant NTP servers to ensure that the
clock always is synchronized with at least one of the provided NTP servers.
