Sntp Configuration - Hirschmann RS20 Reference Manual

Time

3.1 SNTP configuration

The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) enables you to synchronize the
system time in your network.
The device supports the SNTP Server and SNTP Client functions.
The SNTP server makes the UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) available.
UTC is the time relating to the coordinated world time measurement. The
time displayed is the same worldwide. Local time differences are not taken
into account. The SNTP client obtains the UTC from the SNTP server.
Note: For the most accurate system time distribution possible, avoid having
network components (routers,switches, hubs) which do not support SNTP in
the signal path between the SNTP server and the SNTP client.
