4.7 System Time
The BreezeMAX Si 2000 uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to set its
internal clock based on periodic updates from a time server. Maintaining an
accurate time on the device enables the system log to record meaningful dates and
times for event entries.
SNTP uses Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT (sometimes known as UTC) based on
the time at the Earth’s prime meridian, zero degrees longitude. To display a time
corresponding to your local time, you must select your time zone, for example
GMT-06.00, for Central Time (US and Canada.)
Figure 4-11: Setting the System Time
• TIme Protocol – Select SNTP to enable the unit to set its internal clock based
on periodic updates from a time server. The unit acts as an SNTP client,
periodically sending time synchronization requests to a specified time server.
Alternatively, you can select “None” and set the time and date manually.
(Default: SNTP)
• Time Server Address – The IP address of a time server that the unit attempts
to poll for a time update. (Default: 192.43.244.18)
• Current Time (hh:mm:ss) – Displays the current time of the system clock.
• New TIme (hh:mm:ss) – Sets the system clock to the time specified. The time
can only be set manually when the Time Protocol is set to “None.”
• Current Date (yyyy:mm:dd) – Displays the current date of the system clock.
