Clock
NTP
The WebColour by default is set to use NTP (Network Time
Protocol) to set its internal clock. This is checked at regular
intervals to ensure the clock is always accurate. It also
ensure the unit has the correct time when it is power-up
(such as after a power loss).
With NTP enabled, the clock can be considered to be a set
and forget item. However, if the unit will not have a reliable,
permanent internet connection, it may be necessary to
disable NTP. The time will be kept through short power
outages, but it will need to be reset after a longer one.
Timezone Offset
The timezone offset is the offset from GMT for the
WebColour location. By default it is set to +10:00 (Australian
Eastern Standard time). Note that the WebColour does not
automatically adjust for daylight savings.
Daylight Savings
The WebColour can automatically adjust for daylight savings.
This feature by default is off. The adjustment is done per a
pair of rules which define when daylight savings starts and
ends. These must be set per your region. By default, these rules have the definitions for Australian daylight
savings period.
Copy System Time
The Copy System Time to WebColour button becomes enabled when NTP is disabled. It allows the user, as
it says, to copy the time from the system they are using to access the WebColour to the WebColour. In this
way, the time on the WebColour can be set when NTP is disabled.
