Click on
Date and Time
in the menu.
This menu enables initialisation of the date and time of the card in three different ways.
The date format is always of year/month/day type
•
Set manually
: Enables initialisation of the date and time of the card, with the values entered in the Date
and Time fields. This update is made after clicking on the
Save
button
.
Maximum drift is +/- 2 min./month
•
Accept automatic update from IPP or IPM
: Enables initialisation of the date and time of the card, with
the values provide by the Intelligent Power Protector or the Intelligent Power Manager.
•
Synchronize with NTP server
: Enables connection with a time server, either available on the
company’s internal network or on the Web. This server communicates GMT time. The IP address or
hostname of the time server must be entered, and the time zone of your geographic area must then be
selected from the list. Connection is made with the server and the date and time are set after clicking on
the "Save" button. Time is updated every five hours, thus preventing any drift in the time. After two
attempts, if the NTP server is not accessible, the card resends periodic requests.
The card uses the NTP protocol (UDP 123 port). The "firewall" must be configured to transmit queries
outside the intranet. When ntp could not be contacted, an error message is issued at the top of the web
page.
Daylight Savings Time
: Enable the time adjustment for daylight saving time.
