DEVICE NAME/DHCP NAME REGISTRATION
As mentioned earlier, your Masterclock Display should be
provided with a custom name (e.g. “reception-north-wall”).
By default, device names are the product name
abbreviation followed by the last octet of the device’s MAC
(Media Access Control) address (e.g. NTDS-A-04:F7).
If a DHCP server is networked when the Masterclock Display
is installed, the unit will be auto-registered with the DHCP
server. The network system administrator can then view
this DHCP assigned IP address at the DHCP server and assign
a name registration .
DEFAULT PASSWORD
The factory-default password for the network device is:
public
.
Please use lower case.
RESET FACTORY DEFAULT CONFIGURATION
In some situations (such as a lost password) it may be
necessary to return your device to its factory default
configuration. A [
RESET
] button is located on the clock’s
rear cover.
To reset the configuration to factory default:
Press and
hold the reset button for 10 seconds (until dashes appear
on the digits) and then release. The configuration will now
be reset, including the password. The unit will need to be
reconfigured to your custom settings.
The factory default displaying local time
is disabled. You must enable and
configure that setting to display local
time.
We suggest you use a Masterclock
MCR5000 time server with a UTC
reference to configure the offset for your
Time Zone and DST.
To ensure proper year-around operation,
the automatic DST adjustments must be
configured using the “Daylight Savings
Time” option and not with the “Time
Zone” option.
European customers, please refer to the
“WinDiscovery, DST Settings” section
(page 18) for additional details on setting
“summer” time (page 8).
A network device will not function
properly if configured to use DHCP
services when no DHCP server is available
on the network.
