NTP clock driver support for both static and dynamic IP addressing modes. To change or setup network addressing mode, carry out the steps given in below:

Dynamic addressing mode

  1. Open the NTP clock driver configuration menu by pressing the "ENTER" key on a terminal emulator program.

  2. Select option number 1 from the menu.

  3. In this mode, the NTP clock driver communicates with the DHCP server and obtains the network configuration automatically.

  4. After acquiring the network configuration, the configuration details appear on the terminal as similar to the below listing:

    Configuration updated with DHCP settings.
    Restarting the system to apply the network changes...
    Starting up the system...
    Reading system configuration...
    Connecting to network...
    Configuring and starting real-time clock
    Trying to synchronize time with server...
    Requesting DHCP network connection
    - Device IP address: 192.168.1.16
    - Netmask: 255.255.255.0
    - Gateway IP address: 192.168.1.1
    - DNS IP address: 192.168.1.1
    Establishing connection with time server...
    ....

Static addressing mode

  1. Open the NTP clock driver configuration menu by pressing the "ENTER" key on a terminal emulator program.

  2. Select option number 2 from the menu.

  3. When the NTP clock driver requests an IP address, specify the IPv4 address to the prompt and press the "ENTER" key.

  4. Enter the subnet mask and press the "ENTER" key.

  5. Enter the gateway IP address and press the "ENTER" key.

  6. After specifying the above details, the NTP clock driver initiates network connection with the given parameters and tries to communicate with the NTP server as similar to the below listing:

    Configuration updated with static IP address.
    Restarting the system to apply the network changes...
    Starting up the system...
    Reading system configuration...
    Connecting to network...
    Configuring and starting real-time clock
    Trying to synchronize time with server...
    Configuring static IP connection
    - Device IP address: 192.168.1.121
    - Netmask: 255.255.255.0
    - Gateway IP address: 192.168.1.1
    - DNS IP address: 0.0.0.0
    Establishing connection with time server...
    ....
    Received time from server
    Real-time clock is now synchronized with server time
    Receiving time from real-time clock...
