Note: Some settings can also be accessed from within the Eos application via Setup > Device >Network.
Enables the SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) service. Disabled by default.
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 - with ETC Net2 Time enabled, the time server will periodically broadcast (as a server) or receive (as a client) the current time, which is required by devices running the ETCNet2 protocol, for example, Legacy Unison systems.
External Time Server - the External Time Server option 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 - if External Time Server is enabled, you will need to specify the IP address of your external NTP or SNTP time server in this field.
