PERFORMING OTHER OPERATIONS WITH THE Z3-DME-20
7.1
Setting NTP
The DME-20 has support for NTP to set the time on the unit. If you require the system time to be set do
the following
(1)
Load the web UI of the unit and switch to the System Setup tab. Click the go button next to Set
NTP.
(2)
Select TRUE from the Enable NTP dropdown.
(3)
Select the desired time zone for the unit form the Time Zone dropdown.
(4)
Enter an NTP server address. The default is 128.138.141.172 (NIST).
(5)
Click the change button. NTP is now enabled and your system clock will be adjusted.
Note:
The encoder will need to be on a network with a route to the specified NTP server and port 123 open
on the router. If the system time is not as expected check the network settings of the encoder.
