rect the time received from the timeserver this amount before comparing the computer's clock to standard time. This is the time in hours that the timeserver is ahead or behind your computer.

For example, If in the same time zone, enter '0' for no difference; if the timeserver is an hour ahead, enter '1'; if an hour behind, enter '-1'.

Note: The value in the Difference in Hours field is used in time comparisons any time the Daytime format is selected.

SNTP -Simple Network Time Protocol supported on a number of timeservers throughout the world.

Time-TCP -Time protocol, TCP connection time.

Time-UDP -Time protocol, UDP connection type. Also called net date.

Tip:  If the format of a timeserver is unknown, try the more widely deployed SNTP format before trying the NIST, Time, or Daytime format.

Proxy Server Frame (CW Pro, Server)
Use proxy server
When checked, communicates to a timeserver through the proxy server specified - expecting the formatted time string specified in reply. The proxy server serves as an intermediary, passing the request on to the timeserver and then relaying the response back to ClockWatch. For more information about using ClockWatch with proxy servers see the user guide section on Firewalls.

Address of proxy server
Enter the IP address of name of the local proxy server (i.e.: myfirewall or 90.1.11.1) that is set up to handle the time requests.

Port
Enter the TCP or UDP port used to make the socket connection to the proxy server, enter the number of the port here. In a straight pass-through mode ClockWatch uses TCP port 13 for NIST or Daytime, UDP port 123 for SNTP, and port 37 for the Time protocol.

Specify the inbound port used on the proxy server for time requests. The network administrator must configure this port for time requests. This port will take the request from ClockWatch and relay it to the address and port mapped for time requests over the Internet.

Note: The protocol selected in ClockWatch must match the type of protocol used by the timeserver accessed through the proxy server.
