Configures the date and time of the SA9200. One way to configure this
is by using the Network Time Protocol (NTP). The user is prompted if
NTP should be used, and is then prompted for IP addresses of the NTP
servers. Be sure that the selected NTP servers are a reliable source for
NTP time and that the NTP server latency is less than 20 milliseconds. If
NTP is not used, then the date and time are configured manually.
When you enter no for “Use NTP?” the setdate prompts are displayed.
When you specify yes, you are prompted for the NTP server address(es).
Example:
monitor>settime
Use NTP? [y] --->n
