Setting Date & Time
•
AMC Configure > Date/Time
The Date/Time functions provide proper time/date stamping of files and logs within the AMS. The system can be run on an
internal clock, or synchronized to a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server via the network connection.
1.
Selecting the
Set Date/Time using Network
Time Protocol (NTP) Server
check box will
activate synchronization with the NTP server
defined in the field. The
north-
america.pool.ntp.org
server is one of many
available via the Internet.
2.
To change NTP servers, enter the address in the
associated field. (
Note
: If the NTP is an Internet
name the network settings must have a DNS
location for proper address resolution)
• A red indicator
is displayed if the NTP
connection is severed or unreachable.
• An orange
indicates the AMC is sync’ing
with the selected NTP server. Recognize it may
take up to 10 minutes to sync.
• Green means the AMC is connected and
synchronized with the selected NTP server.
3.
Using the time zone pull-down select the location
to properly adjust the time offset for all records
and logs. In other words, changing the time zone
will reflect in the logged time stamps.
4.
To accept any changes click the
Save
