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.
