6. Enter Broadcast or Unicast at the Action (Broadcast/Unicast):

7. Enter the IP address of the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server at
the (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn): prompt.
NOTE:
While this field is optional, it is recommended that a value be entered to
ensure the time of the DSLAM stays in synch with “real time.” The SNTP
server maintains a sense of common time among Internet hosts.
8. Enter the number of hours between synchronization (1 – 24) at the Input
Number: prompt (default = 1).
9. Press Ctrl-z and save the changes.
NOTE:
At system boot time, the time on the DSL card automatically
synchronizes with the MCC card. Therefore, it is usually not necessary to
use this screen on the DSL card. If there is active DHCP-lease derived
information on the card, changing the local time is not recommended.
