Updating Clock Information
You can obtain clock information from an NTP server to update the built-in clock.
Specifying Host Names
You can use the DNS client or set up your Hosts so that you can specify the IP address of the NTP
server or SNMP manager or the target destination of a socket instruction or CIP communications
instruction with a host name instead of an IP address.
Example: Setting Host Names on the DNS Server
Obtaining an IP Address When the Power is Turned ON
