well as network and routing information.
All units are equipped with a real time clock, which is set during fabrication.
However, time and date may be changed any time, for example when the
units are operated in different time zones or for precise synchronization with
the PC’s internal clock.

Whenever you are in need of technical support, make sure you have these
numbers at hand.
