Date & Time Setup
The iPM-1 has a built in Real Time Clock (RTC). Time can be set manually or (if the unit has access to
the internet) set and synced from a NIST Time server. At the writing of this manual the Time Server
Address's are valid. If for some reason these address's change additional servers may be found by an
internet search.
Note: Most Time Servers will disregard a request to “Sync” if to many request from the same ip
address are received in a short time period. For this reason the iPM-1 will sync once a week.
The RTC is backed up by an on board battery in the event of a power failure.
