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. UR series relays support unicast, broadcast, multicast,
and anycast SNTP functionality.
The setting enables or disabled the SNTP feature on the N60.
SNTP FUNCTION
To use SNTP in unicast mode,
set and is "Enabled," the N60 attempts to obtain time values from the SNTP/NTP server. Since many time
SNTP FUNCTION
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 takes 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 18 min-
utes (>1024 seconds) without receiving an SNTP broadcast message before signaling an SNTP self-test error.
