4.1.9  Network Services  
NTP is a protocol for synchronisation of real-time clock of the device. It allows synchronisation of date and 
time used by the gateway against their reference values. 
 
  Enable—enables time synchronisation via NTP. 
  Time server (NTP)—the IP address or host name of the NTP server. 
  Timezone—configuration of the time zone and GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) offset: 
–  Manual mode—defines the GMT offset. 
–  Automatic mode—this mode  allows  selection of  device  location; the  GMT  offset will  be 
determined  automatically.  This  mode  also  enables  automatic  switch  to  daylight  saving 
time. 
  Synchronisation period (min)—an interval between synchronisation requests. 
 
  Save—saves changes. 
  Cancel—discards changes. 
To force time synchronisation with the server, click the ‘Restart NTP-client’ button (the NTP client will be 
restarted).
