Use Time Server
When Bootup

Enter the time service protocol that your timeserver uses. Not all timeservers support all
protocols, so you may have to use trial and error to find a protocol that works. The main
differences between them are the time format.

When you select the Daytime (RFC 867) format, the switch displays the day, month, year and
time with no time zone adjustment. When you use this format, it is recommended that you use
a Daytime timeserver within your geographical time zone.

Time (RFC-868) format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total number of seconds since
1970/1/1 at 0:0:0.

NTP (RFC-1305) is similar to Time (RFC-868).

None is the default value. Enter the time manually. Each time you turn on the switch, the time
and date will be reset to 1970-1-1 0:0.
