4.4.1 ADVANCED - SNTP

SNTP: SNTP (Simple Network Timing Protocol) is a protocol used to synchronize the system time to the

public SNTP servers. It uses the UDP protocol on port 123 to communicate between clients and servers.

Place a check at Enable SNTP to enable the SNTP functionality.

When the SNTP feature is enabled, your ARM-104_v3 ADSL2/2+ Router will start querying for the time clock

information from the primary SNTP server. If it fails to get a valid response within the “Timeout” period, it will

try for “Retry” number of times, before moving to the Secondary SNTP server. If it fails to get a valid response

from Secondary STNP server within valid retry times, it starts querying Tertiary SNTP server. If it fails to get a

valid response from all the servers, then the program stops. When a valid response is received from one of

the server, the program sleeps for “Polling Interval” amount of minutes, before starting the whole process

again.

„

„

Primary SNTP Server: The IP address or the host name of the primary SNTP server.

„

Secondary SNTP Server: The IP address or the host name of the secondary SNTP server.

„

Tertiary SNTP Server: The IP address or the host name of the tertiary SNTP server.

„

Timeout: A time limit for an operation. If the ARM-104_v3 ADSL2/2+ Router failed to connect to a

SNTP server within the “Timeout” period, it will retry the connection.

„

Polling Interval: The length of time (In Minutes) the ARM-104_v3 ADSL2/2+ Router retrieves the

time from the SNTP Server. Time between a successful connection with a SNTP server and a new

attempt to connect to an SNTP server.

„

Retry Count: Enter the Retry Count to access the SNTP Server. The number of times the

ARM-104_v3 ADSL2/2+ Router will try to connect to an SNTP server before it try to connect to the

next server in line.
