To facilitate tracking of events in a network, the Paragon3 and the GeminiG3 can initialize their real-time clocks using a number of protocols. At reset time, the Paragon3 can use the SNTP protocol (RFC2030) to pick up the current UTC (Universal) time. Setting the "TimeZone" and "Daylight Savings" options allows displaying the correct local time in the "Unit Status" page.
Place a check mark against each of the available time sources to be used on your network. The preference order is GPS, Airlink, SNTP.
GPS is not available for the GeminiG3 Lite model.
AirLink time source originates in the Paragon3 base (providing the base is time-aware).
SNTP is a UDP/IP protocol that synchronizes the clocks of computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks.
Determines the interval in seconds before a time update will be accepted from the time source in use.
Determines the interval in seconds after which the source selection will switch to the next available time source in the preference order (providing it has been selected)
