[Skip this step if you wish to specify the timeserver and time sync parameters
from your Windows XP or higher computer.]
A) Press the T

S
ERVER
button .
The timeserver IP Address Screen appears.
a) Use the Next and Prev keys to move the cursor in turn to each digit in the IP
address. Use the knob to set the digit to the desired value. Repeat until you
have selected all the numbers in the desired IP address.
b) Press the
S
AVE
soft button to confirm your setting.
B) Press the
S
YNC
N
OW
soft button to test your settings. Your Optimod’s display
should indicate that it is connecting to the IP address that you specified. When
the connection is successful, the Optimod’s clock will automatically synchro-
nize to the timeserver.
•
If the connection is not successful within five seconds, the display will indi-
cate that the connection failed. This means either that the timeserver is too
busy or that your setup cannot connect to the timeserver. Double-check the
IP address. If you are behind a firewall, make sure that port 123 is open.
•
If your connection failed, the gateway address might not be set correctly
on your Optimod. The gateway address for the timeserver connection is the
same gateway address that you set in step (1.D) on page 2-45. If you do not
know the correct gateway address, you can often discover it by connecting
a Windows computer to the same Ethernet cable that is ordinarily plugged
into your Optimod. Ascertain that the computer can connect to the Inter-
net. At the command prompt, type
ipconfig
. The computer will return
the “Default Gateway.”
5. Specify the time sync from the Optimod PC Remote software:
