21 Network Time Client<br />

Network Time Client<br />

iChip incorporates a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) client. With this protocol<br />

support, iChip can be configured to check SNTP servers for current time and date each<br />

time it goes online. iChip is configured to retrieve time data from a Network Time Server<br />

each time it goes online with the NTOD parameter. After updating its internal Time-Of-<br />

Day (TOD) registers at least once, iChip continues to keep track of time independently,<br />

even after it goes offline.<br />

When iChip contains real TOD data, e-mails sent are automatically stamped with Time<br />

and Date of delivery, according to RFC (822) definition for the date header field. In<br />

addition, the <strong>AT+i</strong>RP8 report returns the current time and date.<br />

iChip also contains parameters to configure local GMT offset and a DSTD (Daylight<br />

Savings Time) rule. These parameters allow iChip to determine the local TOD. When<br />

iChip is configured for TOD retrieval from a Network Time Server, iChip automatically<br />

retrieves an updated time reading every two hours while online. This configuration<br />

improves the long-term accuracy of its internal time management.
