Site Date & Time
The Site Date & Time utility enables the user to update the date and time of any site and IP
Gateway in the system and retrieve the date and time from any site or IP Gateway. The
utility can communicate with more than one site in any given session, with multiple
screens opened simultaneously. All the RTUs in the network can be synchronized to the
same time as the host computer.
Site Date & Time Window
To start the Site Date & Time tool, double-click the Site Date & Time icon in the IP
Gateway ToolBox folder. If no previous applications have been used which require
communications with the IP Gateway, you will be prompted for a password. The following
is displayed.
The header of the window will reflect the tool name (Site Date & Time), the sequential
number of the current screen (e.g. Site Date & Time[1]). The first screen to be opened
(Site Date & Time[1]) occupies the entire window.
Click on the clock icon or select the New command from the Site menu to open a new Date
& Time session with another IP Gateway. During communication, the site (either Local or
Site ID x Link ID y) will also be displayed in the window header. While the Site Date &
Time tool is communicating with the IP Gateway, the icon at the top right hand
corner of the Site Date & Time window will be animated.
