Date/Time configuration
Use the “Date/Time” menu option to set GMAC-5’s internal calendar and clock.
Enter the current time and date, or click on "Get local time" button to update all fields with the current local
time from your PC. The update does not take effect until the “Apply” button is selected.
The date and time is used to timestamp entries in the event log.
If you choose to receive network time updates, the device will try to receive NTP time from the server
(defined in the Network configuration) every three hours. Pay careful attention to the time zone and DST
settings when using network time, since these parameters will not be updated automatically.
"Set current time from SNTP server" will simply try to access the server immediately and return a reply.
This will also instantly update system time upon successful reply.
