Time Service (SNTP)

Note: Not available on ETCnomad.

Enable

Enables the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) service. Disabled by default. When enabled, the following additional settings are available.

Mode

When configured as a client, a console will attempt to synchronize its time with the rest of the devices in the system, by listening for time information and altering its own clock. When configured as a server, a console will serve out time to other devices on the network.

ETC Net2 Time

  • When enabled, the time server will periodically broadcast (as a server) or receive (as a client) the current time. This is required by devices using the ETCNet2 protocol, such as Legacy Unison systems.

    • External Time Server

  • Allows you to synchronize your console to a third party time system at a specific IP address using the NTP or SNTP protocols. This allows use of a specific time clock for time sync. This requires a high accuracy time clock on your network.

    • External Server IP

    When enabled, you will need to specify the IP address of your external NTP or SNTP time server in this field.
