4.10.1 SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol)
This feature enables synchronization of the CXC device time with an external source; i.e., the user’s network.
SNTP is an adaptation or basic subset of NTP which is used for more comprehensive device time synchronization
(see www.NTP.org).
CAUTION
The CXC SNTP client will only accept responses from the external server with the ‘stratum’
parameter set in the range of 1 through 14.
