After all changes have been made, press the Submit button. Pressing the Submit button will cause your
RTC clock changes to be instantly saved in the unit. For the most accurate result, press the submit button
about 1 second before the actual time you entered, to allow the transmission and processing delay. You do
not need to select Save & Reboot in order to change the time/date settings—the Submit button acts
instantly.
Most users will use UTC time for all alarm reporting devices. UTC is best for networks that span time
zones. Also, UTC does not suddenly change for daylight savings time. This unit will not perform a ‘daylight
savings time’ change. Such a change confuses many alarm managers and their reporting functions.
Note: It is useless to change the time and date if the unit is successfully using an NTP or SNTP Time
Server. The SNTP client will override your time and date settings (to match the Time Server’s) within a few
hours or so.
Note: To verify that the unit is successfully communicating with a time-server, see the IP Settings web
page. The G= # is the number of good time updates, and the B= # is the number of bad time updates. You
can also test the SNTP function. Change the time by 15 minutes or so, and then restart the unit (use Save
& Reboot on the web page screen). The time should automatically return to the correct time after the
restart is complete, if the provisioned time-server is reachable on the IP network.
