FIELD DESCRIPTION
Time Protocol Enter the time service protocol that your timeserver uses. 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
differences between them are 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 Manual to enter the new time and new date manually.
Time Server

Daylight Saving Daylight Saving Time is a period from late spring to early fall when many countries
set their clocks ahead of normal local time by one hour to give more daylight time in
the evenings. If you use daylight savings time, then choose Yes.
