4.2 Device Configuration
The device configuration pages allow viewing and changing the device settings of the
LINX. Here are some general rules for setting IP addresses, port numbers, and time values:
An empty IP address field disables the entry.
An empty port number field sets the default port number.
An empty time value field disables the time setting.
4.2.1 System Configuration
The system configuration page is shown in Figure 39. This page allows configuring the
device‘s system time and other system settings. The
TCP/IP Configuration
link is a
shortcut to the Ethernet port configuration. Follow that link to change the IP settings of the
device.
The time sync source can be set to
auto
,
manual
,
NTP
,
BACnet
, or
LonMark
. In the
auto
mode, the device switches to the first external time source that is discovered. Possible
external time sources are NTP, BACnet, LonMark. The option
manual
allows setting the
time manually in the fields
Local Time
and
Local Date
. In
manual
mode, the device does
not switch to an external time source. Note, that if
NTP
is selected, the NTP servers have to
be configured on the IP Configuration page (see Section 4.2.2).
The time zone offset must be defined independently of the time source. It is specified as the
offset to GMT in hours and minutes (e.g., Vienna/Austria is +01:00, New York/USA is
-06:00). For setting the daylight saving time (DST) predefined choices are offered for
Europe and USA/Canada. DST can be switched off completely by choosing
none
or set
manually for other regions. In that case, start and end date of DST must be entered in the
fields below.
