SYSTEM MENU
Time/Date Menu (Not Shown)
The
Time/Date
menu has three sub-menus for setting Omnia.7’s internal clock:
Time Zone, NTP,
and
Set Clock
Manually.
Time Zone Menu
The
Time Zone
menu allows you to choose the proper time zone for your particular geographical area. Daylight
Savings Time is automatically applied in applicable time zones.
NTP Menu
The
NTP
menu contains the addresses for five Network Time Protocol servers. When enabled,
NTP Synchroniza-
tion
will use one of these servers to keep the Omnia.7’s clock synchronized.
By default, each of the four address fields are populated with pool.ntp.org servers. Omnia.7 will try to connect to
the servers in order. If a connection is established and later lost, it will attempt the next server in the list.
If you are using a private internal NTP server, you may enter its address into the Server 0 field and leave the rest set
to their default addresses. This will provide the opportunity to connect to a public server should the private server
disconnect or fail.
However, since Omnia.7 will not seek out another server unless the current one fails, this approach could result in
the unit getting “stuck” on a public server when the private server returns. To prevent this, you may wish to set all
four server fields to the address of the private server.
Set Clock Manually Menu
The
Set Clock Manually
menu contains the controls for manually setting the time and date.
♦
Selecting the
Update Time
or
Update Date
sliders will refresh the time displayed on the sliders. Use the
Set Hour, Set Minute, Set Second, Set Year, Set Month, and Set Day sliders to reflect the current time and
date, then select
Apply Time
or
Apply Date
to put the new values you’ve set into effect.
