in other equipment to accurately diagnose problems affecting multiple systems. You can set the STS clock
manually or with the Time Synchronization feature.

The Time Synchronization feature with SNTP requires the STS Ethernet connection.
Prerequisites:
1. 1.The Ethernet Settings on the Settings screen must be configured.
2. The Ethernet port must be connected to a network with a reachable time server supporting SNTP.
3. You must have the IP address of the time server. The time server could be a dedicated timeserver possibly
with a GPS receiver, a local computer running time server software, or a timeserver on the Internet. You
should preferably use a local time server. All equipment related to the STS should use the same time
server if they have access.
