Time/Date Settings
The Time and Date Settings provide information about the current system time and date. The settings may be updated through the international
time and date servers.
Time is used to set the local time (hour, minute).
Date is used to set the date (month, day, year).
Timezone provides a selection of world time zones and is used
to select the local country time zone. Timezones are specified
by GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and by specific timezones for
the United States and Canada.
Enable Simple Network Time Protocol Server enables the
SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) server on Quadro, thus
Quadro becomes the timeserver for its LAN.
Enable Simple Network Time Protocol Client enables the
SNTP client on the Quadro, thus Quadro becomes a client to an
external timeserver. The checkbox disables Date and Time drop
down lists and enables the following parameters:
The SNTP Servers table lists all defined NTP Servers.
Add functional button opens an Add NTP Server page where a
new NTP server can be defined. This page offers the NTP
Server radio buttons that are used to choose between a manual
and a predefined NTP server.
Manual requires the NTP server’s FQDN (Full Qualified
Domain Name) or its IP address.
Predefined is used to select the NTP server’s host
address from the drop down list, where the most common
NTP servers are listed.
The Move Up and the Move Down functional buttons are used
to sort NTP servers in the order they need to be accessed. If the
NTP server on the first position in the SNTP Servers table does
not answer, NTP server on the next position will try to be
reached.
Please Note:
Add another NTP server to the list if you feel
defined NTP servers are not functional, i.e., the Quadro's
date/time is not being updated automatically.
Polling Interval indicates the time interval for the periodical
synchronization between timeserver and Quadro. It counts in
hours.
