FIELD
DESCRIPTION
Time Protocol
Enter the time service protocol that your timeserver sends when you turn on the
Prestige. Not all timeservers 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.
NTP (RFC-1305) the default, is similar to Time (RFC-868).
None enter the time manually.
