4.2.5 Configuring the Time Source

Figure 20 - Time Source

Date and Time from:

Determines the source of time for the SkyRouter and its applications

NTP Server Address:

If a Network Time Protocol Server is selected its IP address goes here

Time Zone Correction:

Most cellular networks report local time. If a source of time is reporting GMT and you wish to

correct it the plus/minus hours should be entered here.

4.2.6 Configuring the Location Source

Figure 21 - Location Source

Location information is used in the Automation Control application and in a number of reports and alarms. If Internal GPS
is selected the LAT/LON fields should remain blank. If User Defined is selected the LAT/LON should contain the
appropriate location coordinates specified in the decimal format. The values in the screen image above provide an
example.
