versal Time (UTC).<br />
UTC is also known as GMT, or Greenwich Mean Time.<br />
The value can range between –12 and +12 hours. If this value is set to 0,<br />
your <strong>Optimod</strong>’s time will be the same as UTC.<br />
You can empirically adjust this value until the correct time for your location<br />
is displayed after you synchronize your <strong>Optimod</strong> to a timeserver.<br />
2. Choose a timeserver.<br />
http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/service/time-servers.html provides a current<br />
list of timeservers available on the Internet. You network may also have a<br />
local timeserver; ask your network administrator.<br />
As of April 2006, NIST’s list was as shown in Table 2-1 on page 2-55.<br />
3. Press the NEXT button to set up timeserver parameters.<br />
The TIME SERVER button is located on the second page of the TIME SYNC functions.<br />
(You can access this function from anywhere in the <strong>Optimod</strong> menu tree by<br />
navigating to SETUP > NEXT > TIME DATE AND ID > NEXT > TIME SYNC > NEXT.)<br />
You can specify the timeserver either from your <strong>Optimod</strong>’s front panel or from<br />
its PC Remote software. From the front panel, you can only enter the timeserver’s<br />
IP address (for example, 192.43.244.18). If you specify the timeserver<br />
from PC Remote, you can specify either its named address (for example,<br />
time.nist.gov) or its IP address.<br />
4. Specify the time sync parameters from your <strong>Optimod</strong>’s front panel:<br />
[Skip this step if you wish to specify the timeserver and time sync parameters<br />
from your Windows XP computer.]<br />
A) Press the TIME SERVER button.<br />
The timeserver IP Address Screen appears.<br />
a) Use the NEXT and PREV keys to move the cursor in turn to each digit in the<br />
IP address. Use the knob to set the digit to the desired value. Repeat until<br />
you have selected all the numbers in the desired IP address.<br />
b) Press the SAVE soft button to confirm your setting.<br />
B) Press the SYNC NOW soft button to test your settings. Your <strong>Optimod</strong>’s display<br />
should indicate that it is connecting to the IP address that you specified. When<br />
the connection is successful, the <strong>Optimod</strong>’s clock will automatically synchronize<br />
to the timeserver.<br />
If the connection is not successful within five seconds, the display will indicate<br />
that the connection failed. This means either that the timeserver is too<br />
busy or that your setup cannot connect to the timeserver. Double-check the<br />
IP address. If you are behind a firewall, make sure that port 123 is open.
