time can be set manually (Reference mode: Manual), or using NTP (Network Time Protocol). If

NTP is selected, a valid NTP server must be present for the system time to update. The NTP

server can be selected in the „Server Address‟ field. If Cube has an internet connection a public

NTP server (such as the default, pool.ntp.org) can be used.
