Clock Correction Using NTP (Network Time
Protocol)
The NTP server can be used to correct the clock time
automatically. This is done by applying the date and time acquired
from the NTP server to the built-in clock of this transceiver.
The following configuration procedures are needed to make use
of the NTP function.
• Connect this transceiver to a network such as a home LAN via
a LAN cable.
• To make use of an NTP server on WAN, allow communication
to be established via the Network Time Protocol Port (port 123).
For a home LAN that uses a broadband router, ensure that port
123 of the broadband router is open.
• Configure the network and IP address on this transceiver. For
more details on the method of configuration, please refer to
"LAN" (15-1).
• Configure the address of the NTP server.
• Configure the NTP server address of the time zone configured
for the local clock on this transceiver. For more details on the
method of configuration, please refer to
