8.5 Setting the device time
You can set the the device time manually or automatically via an SNTP time
server. The device must be connected to a time server via Ethernet for this
purpose. You can operate SNTP and PTP at the same time. In this case, the
PTP time is queried in slave operation.

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > System > Time synchronization.
2. Select the desired parameter.
3. Set the parameter.
4. Press the Accept button to save the modified parameter.
Time synchronization via SNTP
You can use this parameter to activate time synchronization using an SNTP
time server.
SNTP time server
You can use this parameter to enter the IP address of a SNTP time server. If
you are using a time server, the device uses the time of the time server as
the system time.
Be sure to enter a valid time server address that is not 0.0.0.0, otherwise it
will not be possible to connect to the device.
Synchronization interval
You can use this parameter to set the interval at which the device is to call
up the time from the time server.
