GM1093 - Watchdog 1000 Series User Manual

Revision Date: 02/13/2015
Time and Date
The system clock is set on the
Admin
tab of the
Configuration
page. The unit comes preconfigured
with the IP addresses of two NIST time servers and is set to the Central Time Zone (-0500 GMT).
Should a local time server be preferred, enter its IP address into the “NTP primary server” box and
click the “Save Changes” button. Clearing the time server addresses and clicking “Save Changes”
will set the time servers back to the defaults. The unit attempts to contact the time servers during
boot up and periodically while running. Until a time server is contacted or the system clock is
manually set, all log time stamps will present time as the number of seconds since the unit was
powered up and graphs will not be shown.

The time, date, IP address and friendly name of the unit are displayed in the top of each web page.

Note:
The time and date are not adjusted for daylight savings time. Setting the time zone offset forward and
backward an hour will cause a gap or overwriting of logs, respectively.
The unit is capable of sending e-mail to as many as five addresses at once. Most SMTP and ESMTP
servers are compatible. Authentication options are None, POP3 (POP-before-SMTP) or ESMTP. The
e-mail configuration is set on the
Monitoring
tab of the
Configuration
page.
