WORKING WITH TIME SYNCHRONIZATION
The DX8100 supports the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP), which allows the DX8100 to access Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers to
synchronize DX8100 clocks. The DX8100 allows you to manually or automatically synchronize its time to a NTP time server. Additionally, the
DX8100 server can provide time synchronization for the other DX8100 network. There can be only one NTP time server in the DX8100 network.
This section describes how to synchronize the DX8100 clock and is organized into the following topics:
