SMC Networks Barricade SMC2404WBR User Manual page 118

(Where the "XXX" refers to the IP Address of the server doing the Hosting
and the space in-between the # and the name is made by hitting the "tab"
key.)
Q. How does the Barricade determine the time?
A. The Barricade is obtaining the correct time from the internet using SNTP
protocol. So the
gateway can get the time from NTP server in the internet.
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is an adaptation of the Network
Time Protocol (NTP) used to synchronize computer clocks in the Internet.
SNTP can be used when the ultimate performance of the full NTP
implementation described in RFC-1305 is not needed or justified. It can
operate in both unicast modes (point-to-point) and broadcast modes (point-to-
multipoint). It can also operate in IP multicast mode where this service is
available. SNTP involves no change to the current or previous NTP
specification versions or known implementations, but rather a clarification of
certain design features of NTP which allow operation in a simple, stateless
remote-procedure call (RPC) mode with accuracy and reliability expectations
similar to the UDP/TIME protocol described in RFC-868.
Q. @Home Services (Comcast@Home, At&t@Home, etc.)
A. You need to obtain your exact HOST NAME from the ISP. Many
@home service NO LONGER use host names, however, this varies from ISP
to ISP. You can contact your provider for more info or you can follow the
directions below:
