NTP:
NTP is Network Time Protocol and is used to sync the network time
based Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). If use the NTP mode and select a
built-in NTP time server or manually specify an user-defined NTP server
as well as Time Zone, Signamax 065-1600 series will sync the time in a
short after moving the cursor to <Sync> and press <Enter> key. Though
it synchronizes the time automatically, NTP does not update the time
periodically without user’s processing.
Time Zone is an offset time off GMT. You have to select the time zone
first and then perform time sync via NTP because Signamax 065-1600
series will combine this time zone offset and updated NTP time to come
out the local time, otherwise, you will not able to get the correct time. The
Signamax 065-1600 series supports configurable time zones from –12 to
+13 in 1 hour steps.
Default Time zone: +8 Hrs.
