DESCRIPTION

Time Protocol

Select the time service protocol that your timeserver sends when you turn on
the device. Not all time servers support all protocols, so you may have to check
with your ISP/network administrator or use trial and error to find a protocol that
works.
The main difference between them is the format.
Daytime (RFC-867) format is day/month/year/time zone of the server.
Time (RFC-868) format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total number of
seconds since 1970/1/1 at 0:0:0.
The default, NTP (RFC-1305), is similar to Time (RFC 868).
Select None to enter the time and date manually.

Time Server
Address

Enter the IP address or domain name of your timeserver. Check with your ISP/
network administrator if you are unsure of this information (the default is
tick.stdtime.gov.tw).

Time Zone

Choose the Time Zone of your location. This will set the time difference between
your time zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
