ZyWALL. Not all timeservers support all protocols, so you may have to check with
your ISP/network administrator or use trial and error to find a protocol that works.
The main differences between them are the format.
Daytime (RFC 867) format is day/month/year/time zone of the server.
Time (RFC-868) format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total number of
seconds since 1970/1/1 at 0:0:0.
NTP (RFC-1305) the default, is similar to Time (RFC-868).
None enter the time manually.
Enter the IP address or domain name of your timeserver. Check with your
ISP/network administrator if you are unsure of this information. The default is
tick.stdtime.gov.tw.

in the evenings. If you use daylight savings time, then choose Yes.
Enter the month and day that your daylight-savings time starts on if you selected
