SNTP Configuration
SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) is a simplified version of NTP, which is an
Internet protocol used to synchronize the clocks of computers to some time
reference. Because time usually just advances, the time on different node stations will
be different. With the communicating programs running on those devices, it would
cause time to jump forward and back, a non-desirable effect. Therefore, the switch
provides comprehensive mechanisms to access national time and frequency
dissemination services, organize the time-synchronization subnet and the local clock
in each participating subnet peer.
Daylight saving time (DST) is the convention of advancing clocks so that afternoons
have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward
one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn.

This page includes the following fields:
Object Description
SNTP Client: Enable/disable SNTP function to get the time from the SNTP server.
Daylight Saving Time:
This is used as a control switch to enable/disable daylight saving
period and daylight saving offset. Users can configure Daylight Saving
Period and Daylight Saving Offset in a certain period time and offset
time while there is no need to enable daylight saving function.
Afterwards, users can just set this item as enable without assign
Daylight Saving Period and Daylight Saving Offset again.
