ICX 500 Gateway

In the
Set Local time
section, the date and time can be manually set.
In the
Configure Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server
section the ICX can be configured to
synchronise the time to a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. Enter the IP address of the NTP
server, then
Set Server
. The ICX will now check if this is a valid NTP server and display a message
accordingly. The connection to the NTP Server can also be tested by the
Test Server
button. The
button
Get Time
will instantly read the NTP time and set the time and date.
When the ICX is configured to use NTP Server, the time and date is automatically synchronized
approx. each minute.
NTP Clock Drift Adjustment
: If there is no NTP Server available at site where the ICX500 Gateway
is to be installed, there is an option to temporarily connect the ICX to a network with NTP Server
during commissioning (e.g. in the workshop before shipping to end customer). Configure the ICX to
synchronize the time to this NTP server. Now the internal ICX clock will be compared to the NTP time,
and the offset will be calculated. One should leave the ICX connected to the NTP network for at least
24 hours to get the best result. When the ICX is moved to a network without NTP Server, it will use
this offset value to correct the real time clock in ICX.
When an offset value has been calculated, the
Slew
will show a value, and the
Update Time
will
show the date and time when the offset value was stored.
