2.11 Time settings
The Gateway is the timekeeper for the Wireless HART network, so it is imperative that the
Gateway’s time is accurate for timestamp data to be meaningful. Time settings can be
found by navigating to
System Settings > Gateway > Time as shown in Figure 2-2 on page 7.
Any changes made to the time settings will have to be done to both networks for
consistency. There are three ways to set the Gateway time:
Procedure
1. Network Time Protocol (recommended). This option uses a Network Time Protocol
(NTP) server to adjust the Gateway’s time to match the time of the control network.
Enter the IP address for the NTP server and select the packet version (1, 2, 3, or 4).
2. Set with PC Time. This option will match the Gateway’s time to the PC/Laptop.
3. Manual Entry. This option allows the user to enter a specific date (MM:DD:YY) and
time (HH:MM:SS).
Note
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is recommended for the best network performance
because it always adjusts time to match the network time server.
