UDP command: setdatetime
The charging station tries to set its date and time via an NTP time server. If
the device cannot access an NTP time server the “started” time in
report
100
will contain the same information as “started [s]”. A reason for not setting
the time stamp via NTP time sever could be that the charging station has no
internet connection.
If xChargeIn M-series is used, the time stamp will be provided by the XPU.
With the UDP command
setdatetime
it is possible to set a date and a time
for the charging station. Depending on how and when the time stamp was
set, it can be distinguished between how trustworthy the time stamp is.
