PRODUCT SETUP
SNTP PROTOCOL
The N60 supports the Simple Network Time Protocol specified in RFC-2030. With SNTP, the N60 can obtain clock time
over an Ethernet network. The N60 acts as an SNTP client to receive time values from an SNTP/NTP server, usually a ded-
icated product using a GPS receiver to provide an accurate time. Both unicast and broadcast SNTP are supported.
If SNTP functionality is enabled at the same time as IRIG-B, the IRIG-B signal provides the time value to the N60 clock for
as long as a valid signal is present. If the IRIG-B signal is removed, the time obtained from the SNTP server is used. If
either SNTP or IRIG-B is enabled, the N60 clock value cannot be changed using the front panel keypad.
To use SNTP in unicast mode,

values are obtained and averaged, it generally takes three to four minutes until the N60 clock is closely synchronized with
the SNTP/NTP server. It may take up to two minutes for the N60 to signal an SNTP self-test error if the server is offline.
To use SNTP in broadcast mode, set the
N60 then listens to SNTP messages sent to the "all ones" broadcast address for the subnet. The N60 waits up to eighteen
minutes (>1024 seconds) without receiving an SNTP broadcast message before signaling an SNTP self-test error.

The UR-series relays do not support the multicast or anycast SNTP functionality.
l) ETHERNET SWITCH

PRODUCT SETUP
ETHERNET SWITCH
These settings appear only if the N60 is ordered with an Ethernet switch module (type 2S or 2T).
The IP address and Modbus TCP port number for the Ethernet switch module are specified in this menu. These settings
are used in advanced network configurations. Please consult the network administrator before making changes to these
settings. The client software (EnerVista UR Setup, for example) is the preferred interface to configure these settings.
