the recorder's own clock. Therefore when first syncing to a new time source it
may be necessary to first manually set the recorder's time 'in the ball park' of
the time source's time. In addition, the recorder will not allow large jumps in
time due to a time source input, but will instead slowly 'slew' the recorders time
towards the time source time. The recorder attempts to avoid time ever moving
backwards, as this could cause overlapping recordings.
At the bottom of this page is some diagnostic information about your configured
time source, from which you can see information such as jitter and reach ability
of your time source. This information is useful for troubleshooting problematic
time sources. It includes information about which time sources are configured,
which are reachable, and which, if any, the recorder is currently synchronized
to. You must click the refresh button to see the most recent data. The
formatting of this information is identical to the standard UNIX / Linux
command ‘ntpq –p’. For more information on the data format used search online
for ‘ntpq’.
4.3.3. License Keys
License keys are purchased from Eventide to enable licensed functionality. Your
recorder will ship with one or more license keys installed, and you may also be
sent additional license keys if you upgrade or add new options to your recorder.
License keys are entered on this configuration page. Every recorder has one
primary license key. If this key is not entered, or does not match the hardware,
the system will run normally for 7 days during a grace period, and then certain
functions, such as archiving and call playback will become unavailable until a
valid key is entered. You cannot delete a primary key or add more than one, only
edit your primary key. Each license key is a long number provided by Eventide.
When you add or edit a key, you will see it in the list along with either the text
'Not a Valid License Key for this Recorder' or a description of which features the
license key enables. If the license key itself is valid for your recorder but does
not provide adequate coverage for your installed configuration (for example if
you add in an additional Analog Board beyond your licensed channel count), the
particular field which is not adequate will be marked as “INVALID”. For the
license to function on your recorder, it must be valid for the recorder itself, and
cover the installed features. If your license key does not cover your purchased
features, such as if you purchase an additional Analog Board, you must get a
new license key from Eventide.
In addition to the primary license key which contains information on number
and types of channels, number of client connections, hard drive size, etc. There
are Add-on Keys. Add-on Keys can be modified, added, or deleted from the
system and contain additional 'add on' features such as Metadata Feeds or
Radio-Over-IP channels. Each add-on key can provide up to three features.
