Date and time
As standard, the Access system uses
the time from the server's operating
system.
If required, the time can also be
assigned via an NTP server (Network
Time Protocol server). For this, the
Access network must have the rele
-
vant access rights for the NTP server.
The NTP server is a service for syn
-
chronizing the clocks in networks.
As an NTP server, either a locally or
internet-operated NTP server can
be used.
The date, time and time zone can
also be manually changed (e.g.
Access server is located in a different
time zone than the software user).
Procedure
1
Go to the
Date and Time
tab.
2
Activate the function
Adjust date
and time
to enable changes to be
made to the time setting.
3
All settings which can be changed
are shown highlighted.
4
Change the
time zone
if required.
5
If you wish the Access system to
use an external NTP server, enter the
address of the local or public NTP
server.
Remarks
• The
time
and the
date
can only
be manually changed in the Access
system if nothing is entered in the
field
NTP server
. Otherwise, this
data is taken from the entered NTP
server.
• As standard, the Windows NTP
server address
time.windows.
com
is entered as the NTP server. If
your Access system is operated in
stand-alone mode or has no access
to the internet, you should enter
the address of a local NTP server or
delete entries in this field if no NTP
server can be reached in the local
network.
