Displays current sample reply text that is generated using current format setting and time zone setting in this page.
Checking the box allows the DayTime server listen for the DayTime TCP request from clients, and then reply the text of date and time to the client that made request.
Specifies the IP address that the DayTime server will use it to listen for the DayTime TCP request packet, and to send the DayTime TCP reply packet. Using the "0.0.0.0" binding IP address will bind to both of your network interface cards.
Specifies the number of local TCP port that the DayTime server will use it to listen for the DayTime TCP request packet, and to send the DayTime TCP reply packet. By default, it's port 13.
In general, the DayTime server will immediately reply to the client that made the DayTime TCP request. Checking the box causes the server to stop replying when the local system clcok is unsynchronized with an external time source by the client portion of the Net Time Server & Client. It avoids the inaccuracy reply that is sent from the DayTime server.
Checking the box allows the DayTime server listen for the DayTime UDP request from clients, and then reply the text of date and time to the client that made request.
Specifies the IP address that the DayTime server will use it to listen for the DayTime UDP request packet, and to send DayTime UDP reply packet. Using the "0.0.0.0" binding IP address will bind to both of your network interface cards.
