Configuring SNTP

The AT-S84 software is shipped with the client version of the Simple
Network Time Protocol (SNTP). You can configure AT-S84 to obtain the
current time and date from an SNTP or Network Time Protocol (NTP)
server located on your network or on the internet.

SNTP is a reduced version of the NTP. However, the SNTP client software
is interoperable with NTP servers.

To configure SNTP, perform the following procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type B to select Basic Switch Configuration.

The Basic Switch Configuration Menu is shown in Figure 4 on page
32.

2. From the Basic Switch Configuration Menu, type T to select Set SNTP

Server IP.

The SNTP Configuration Menu is shown in Figure 8
