Overview
To use NTP time, the transmitter is required to be connected to a wired Ethernet network, its switch settings 1 and 2 must
be set to the up position, and optionally can be configured to use an alternate NTP time source if the factory-default NIST
time source will not be used.
The transmitter NTP settings are accessed and configured from a Web browser on a computer that is on the same Local
Area Network (LAN) as the transmitter. If you need assistance, contact your IT department.
NOTE:
Prior to configuring the NTP time source, please be aware the IP address of an NTP server and transmitter is
required to complete this configuration. Also, before beginning this procedure, set the computer to use a
static IP address.

Pre-Configured NTP Time Source
: By default, when configured for NTP time, the transmitter is programmed
from the factory to obtain the NTP time from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. According to
the NIST, they provide a public service by outputting one of two official time sources by the United States.
Readings from the clocks of the NIST contribute to world time, called Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The
time maintained by NIST should never differ by more than 0.000 0001 seconds from UTC. For more information,

CAUTION:
Be sure to write down and file the changes you make to network configuration settings. Once the
default static IP address is changed, the factory-default IP address will no longer work and you must
use the new settings to access the transmitter configuration.
