DESCRIPTION
Type a descriptive name for identification purposes. This name consists of up to 64
printable ASCII characters; spaces are allowed.
Type the geographic location of your Switch. You can use up to 32 printable ASCII
characters; spaces are allowed.
Type the name of the person in charge of this Switch. You can use up to 32 printable
ASCII characters; spaces are allowed.
Type the time service protocol that your timeserver uses. Not all time servers support all
protocols, so you may have to use trial and error to find a protocol that works. The main
differences between them are the time format.
When you select the Daytime (RFC 867) format, the Switch displays the day, month,
year and time with no time zone adjustment. When you use this format, it is
recommended that you use a Daytime timeserver within your geographical time zone.
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) is similar to Time (RFC-868).
None is the default value. Enter the time manually. Each time you turn on the Switch,
the time and date will be reset to 1970-1-1 0:0.
Type the IP address of your timeserver. The Switch searches for the timeserver for up to
60 seconds. If you select a timeserver that is unreachable, then this screen will appear
locked for 60 seconds. Please wait.
