5.4. Clearing the Configuration
The recommended configuration method is DHCP based (
refer to Section
6), where all of
the configuration settings are automatically served to the clocks from the DHCP server.
In this case, modifying the clock configuration is done at the DHCP server.
If you are using DHCP, but not a DHCP option code to fully configure your clock, the
network parameters are set by the DHCP server. The best way to log on to your clock is
using the clock hostname; see Section 7 for details.
If however you have manually modified the clock configuration, and have assigned
your clocks static IP Addresses, use the steps below to connect to your clocks and alter
the configuration or to recover a factory fresh clock configuration.
5.4.1. Digital Clock
The digital clock displays its IP address on start up. Follow the instructions for
connecting to a clock via telnet in this manual (Section 7) and reconfigure the clock.
5.4.2. Analog Clock
The analog clock has no IP Address display on startup; if a static IP Address has been
used, it will be unknown by simply looking at the clock. Here are ways to obtain the IP
Address for the clock so that you can reconfigure the clock.
Check OnTime Management, the clock management system, at
support.inovasolutions.com
because the IP Address will be shown if the
management system is in use (recommended).
Return the clock to factory default by inserting a straightened paperclip into the
small hole on the centerline of the rear of the powered clock and holding the
small recessed button down until the hands begin to find their home position (at
least 15 seconds). The clock must be powered on for the reset to work.
The clock hostname can be used once a new IP Address is served by a DHCP
server, or you can boot the clock in a lab setting, also called a bench
environement, and use the link-local address (169.254.0.100) to connect to the
clock.
