Network Time - Solectek SkyWay-Excel Series User Manual

17. Network Time

Using the Network Time Protocol (NTP), the SkyWay Excel radio can be time synchronized to
an NTP v3/v4 time server as defined by www.ntp.org.
To setup this feature, navigate to Configuration -> Advanced to access the Date and Time
feature configuration:
To time synchronize the radio, the NTP server IP address must be established and the 'sync'
button pressed. If connection is successful, the local time/date will be updated to match NTP
time.
An NTP resync will occur automatically twice per day.
If the NTP server is off-line, time is still kept locally on the radio. However, a reboot of the unit
will blank the time. A re-connection to the NTP server or manual re-configuration of the time is
required to correct the time/date.
Time zone information must be entered manually as a fixed offset from UTC. Once entered,
this information is stored in non-volatile local memory and does not need to be re-entered.
All changes, except for the NTP Sync function, should be followed by a 'Submit' to make active.
