Other Network Settings

Set the following according to your network environment.

Making SNTP Settings

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) enables you to adjust the system clock by using the time server on the network. If SNTP is used, the time server is checked at the specified intervals; therefore, the correct time can always be maintained. The time is adjusted based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), so specify the time zone setting before configuring SNTP (Setting the Date/Time). SNTP settings can be specified via the Remote UI.
The SNTP of the machine supports both NTP (version 3) and SNTP (versions 3 and 4) servers.
