NTP time synchronization

When using NTP time synchronization, the UGW takes its time from the specified NTP server.

Evaluating BACnet time synchronization:

The UGW listens for and evaluates sent BACnet messages for time synchronization.

Note:

Time synchronisation via BACnet can only be used if the BACnet driver is installed and if there is a
time synchronisation master in the BACnet network. Please clarify this with the BACnet network
coordinator.

For time synchronisation via NTP, it must be possible to access an NTP server from the IP network.
Ask the system administrator about this.
