NTP
In the "NTP" area, you can enable the network protocol. "NTP" is a protocol for synchronizing
the UTC time in network systems.
When supplied from the factory this setting is disabled and it needs to be enabled here before
using NTP for the first time.

unsynchronized
NTP server
Syslog messages
In the "Syslog messages" area, you can activate the Syslog messages. When the Syslog
function is activated, the module generates Syslog messages at the preset UDP port
according to RFC 5424 or RFC 5426. Syslog messages log information during access to the
module as well as configuration changes. By default, these are saved in a log file and output
in the "The "Diagnostics - Syslog logbook" menu item (Page 92)" menu. The log file is set up
as a circulating buffer. If all the entries in the log file are occupied, the next new entry deletes
the oldest entry.
When supplied from the factory this setting is disabled and it may have to be enabled here.

systems.
