Setting the real-time clock
Perform this task to set the real-time clock of the PTP 600.
The clock supplies accurate date and time information to the system. It can be set to
run with or without a connection to a network time server (SNTP):
•
In the absence of an SNTP server connection, the clock can be set to run
manually. The clock is battery backed and will continue to operate for several
days after the ODU is switched off.
•
If an SNTP server connection is available, the clock can be set to synchronize
with the server time at regular intervals.
