System Log File
Logs system instructions and other information to the screen. The log screen can then be saved to a file that
may be used by ELPRO technical support to diagnose problems.
Clear System Log
Clears the log screen.
Read Configuration File
Reads the module configuration to an XML file. To save this file, select “Save As” from the File menu on
your browser.
Write Configuration File
Loads a previously saved XML configuration file into the module.
Firmware Upgrade
Upgrades the module firmware. For details, see “Patch file firmware upgrade” below.
Set Date and Time
Allows you to set the date and time for the device. This feature is associated with the logging function.
Reset
Resets the module.
Factory Default
Configuration Reset
Resets the module and restores its factory default configuration.
Patch file firmware upgrade
To upgrade the module firmware locally using a firmware patch file,
click
System Tools
on the menu, and then click
Firmware Upgrade
and browse for the saved firmware patch file. When you locate the
file, click
Send
to upload the file to the module. A status message
appears. If the upgrade was successful, click
Reset
. If it was not
successful, repeat the process. (The module must verify that the file
is valid before you can initiate a reset.)

All existing configuration parameters will be saved. However, if any
new parameters are added to the firmware, the default values will be used.

Setting the date and time
This feature is associated with data logging. The module needs
access to the current date and time to make effective use of data
logging if this feature is enabled on the module (see “Data logging”
on
page 38
).
To configure the date and time, click
System Tools
on the menu,
and then click
Set Date and Time
. This displays the page in
Figure 39
. There are two ways you can set the date and time
on this page:
•
Manually enter the date and time.
•
Enable Network Time Protocol (NTP) to retrieve the time and date
from a remote time server. This method requires network access
to an NTP server.
If you set the date and time manually, keep in mind that the date
and time function does not support time zones or daylight savings
time. Normally you should set the time to UTC (Universal Time). You
can set the time to your local time, but you will need to remember
to change the time if your location uses daylight savings. When the
time is set manually, the module uses an internal real-time-clock to
keep time during loss of power. This real time clock has power to
run for at least twelve hours (typical 3-5 days). If the duration of the
power loss is too long, the time at power restoration will be the time
that power was lost.
To use the NTP feature, you need network access to an NTP server.
You can use a public server, or set up your own server. Most modern
operating systems (such as Microsoft
®
Windows and Linux) can be
configured to operate as an NTP server. If the NTP server is on a
different sub-network, you may need to configure routing rules to
allow the device to reach the NTP server. Use the “Ping” command
on the Network Diagnostics page to check if you have connectivity
to the NTP Server IP address.
