U NTP State
Displays the current NTP state.
U Enable NTP time synchronization: Yes / No
Once the NTP is enabled, the RR-EPL takes the time from the Internet
and displays this as its current system time. The synchronisation can
take several seconds.
If this option is set to Yes and at least one time server is specified under
NTP servers to synchronize to (see below), the current system
time will be made available.
U NTP servers to synchronize to
Under this option, enter one or more time servers from which the RREPL should obtain the current time. If you enter multiple time servers, the
RR-EPL will automatically connect with all of them to determine the
current time.
Note: If you enter a hostname, e.g. pool.ntp.org, instead of an IP address,
a DNS server must also be specified (see “Services:DNS” on page 117).
Note: If the RR-EPL is operating in Transparent mode and multiple time
servers are entered, the RR-EPL will only use the first two time servers in
the list.
Note: If the RR-EPL is operating in Router, PPPoE or PPTP mode, it will
also make the NTP time available to the connected systems.
U Timezone in POSIX.1 Notation...
If the Current system time above should display your current
local time instead of the current Greenwich time (if it is different to the
Greenwich time), you must enter the number of hours (plus or minus)
that your local time differs from Greenwich time.
Examples:
In Berlin, the time is one hour earlier than in Greenwich. Therefore,
enter: CET-1.
