4.2.4 Green Ethernet

This page is used to enable/disable green Ethernet function. Enable green Ethernet mode will reduce system power
consumption when the link is not present.
Enable mode will reduce chip power when the signal from the copper link partner is not present.
The device supports the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). SNTP assures
accurate network device clock time synchronization up to the millisecond. Time
synchronization is performed by a network SNTP server. The device operates
only as an SNTP client, and cannot provide time services to other systems. The
device can poll the following server types for the server time:
Server IP Address - Sets the SNTP server's IP address.
Update Time Now - Synchronizes current device time with the SNTP server
right away.
Polling Interval - Sets the interval at which SNTP client polls for time.
