SNTP Settings
This section describes the settings to adjust the clock in the FC6A Series MicroSmart by acquiring the current time (GMT) from an
SNTP server on the network.
Description
The FC6A Series MicroSmart acquires the current time (GMT) from an SNTP server on the network automatically or at the set
interval and adjusts the internal clock according to the time zone setting. If the daylight savings time setting has been enabled, the
