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 pressing <Apply> button. 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.
Signamax 065-1600 series supports configurable time zone from –12 to
+13 in 1 hour steps.
Default Time zone: +8 Hrs.
Daylight Saving:
Daylight saving is adopted in some countries. If set, it will adjust the time
lag or in advance in unit of hours, according to the starting date and the
ending date. For example, if you set the day light saving to be 1 hour.
When the time passes over the starting time, the system time will be
increased one hour after one minute at the time since it passed over. And
when the time passes over the ending time, the system time will be
decreased one hour after one minute at the time since it passed over.
Signamax 065-1600 series supports valid configurable day light saving
time is –5 ~ +5 step one hour. The zero for this parameter means it need
not have to adjust current time, equivalent to in-act daylight saving. You
don’t have to set the starting/ending date as well. If you set daylight
saving to be non-zero, you have to set the starting/ending date as well;
otherwise, the daylight saving function will not be activated.
Default for Daylight Saving: 0.
