Table 8-7 Time and Date Setting Fields
Field Description
Use Time
Server when
Bootup
During boot procedure the P201 can connect to a time server to calibrate its system clock.
You can choose which time protocol is preferred. Toggle and select Daytime (RFC-867);
Time (RFC-868), NTP (RFC-1305) or None. The former two protocols use TCP protocols
and the third one uses UDP protocol.
The main differences between them are the format, e.g., the Daytime (RFC 867) format is
day/month/date/year/time zone of the server while the Time (RFC-868) format gives a 4-byte
integer giving the total number of seconds since 1/1/1970 at 0:0:0. The NTP (RFC-1305)
format is similar. Not all timeservers support all protocols, so you may have to check with
your ISP/network administrator or use trial and error to find a protocol that works. If you select
None (this is the default value), you can enter the time manually but each time the system is
booted, the time & date will be reset to: 1/1/1970 0:0:0
Time Server
IP Address
Enter the IP address of the selected time server. If you choose None then this field is N/A.
once you assign an IP address of a time server (e.q. an UNIX server), then the Prestige will
get the date, time, and time-zone information from this server.
New Time Enter the new time of the place where the P201 is located in hour, minute and second format.
New Date
Enter the new date of the place where the P201 is located in year, month and, date and
format.
