SMTP Destination Email Address
The email address to which the PTP 500 Series bridge will send the alert messages.

7.10.8 SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol)

The SNTP client allows the PTP 500 Series to obtain accurate date and time updates from a
networked timeserver. The system time is used for SNMP and event logging.
SNTP State
When enabled, the Remote Management web page permits the following attributes to be set:
SNTP IP Address
The IP address of the networked SNTP server.
SNTP Port Number
The port number of the networked SNTP server. By convention the default value for the port
number is 123.
SNTP Poll Interval
The period at which the SNTP client polls the server for time correction updates. Default 1
hour. If for any reason an SNTP poll fails, the client will automatically perform 3 retries before
waiting for the user defined poll period.
Time Zone
The time zone is a fixed offset from GMT that is added to the SNTP time to allow the
expression of time in all geographic time zones.
Daylight Saving
Allows a fixed offset of one hour to be added to the SNTP time in order to reflect the local
daylight saving time.

7.10.9 Setting the clock

The PTP 500 Series bridge has a system clock which can be used to supply accurate date
and time information in the absence of a SNTP server. The system clock is battery backed
and will continue to operate for several days if the PTP 500 Series bridge has been switched
off.
SNTP State
If the SNTP State is set to "Disabled", see Figure 79, then the Remote Management web
page allows the following attributes to be set:
Set Time
Shows the current time in 24 hour mode. The three editable fields display hours minutes and
seconds.
Set Date

boxes.
