DESCRIPTION
Select the time service protocol that your timeserver sends when you turn on
the device. Not all time servers support all protocols, so you may have to check
with your ISP/network administrator or use trial and error to find a protocol that
works.
The main difference between them is the format.
Daytime (RFC-867) format is day/month/year/time zone of the server.
Time (RFC-868) format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total number of
seconds since 1970/1/1 at 0:0:0.
The default, NTP (RFC-1305), is similar to Time (RFC 868).
Select None to enter the time and date manually.
Enter the IP address or domain name of your timeserver. Check with your ISP/
network administrator if you are unsure of this information (the default is
tick.stdtime.gov.tw).
Choose the Time Zone of your location. This will set the time difference between
your time zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Daylight saving is a period from late spring to early fall when many countries set
their clocks ahead of normal local time by one hour to give more daytime light in
the evening.
Select this option if you use Daylight Saving Time.
