CS-116
The IP serial console maintains current date and time information. The IP serial console clock and calendar settings are backed
up by internal battery power. The user can change the current date and time.
There are two methods of date and time settings. The first is to use the NTP server to maintain the date and time settings.
If the NTP feature is enabled, the IP serial console will obtain the date and time information from the NTP server at each reboot,
then automatically align with the NTP server time per hour. If the NTP server is set to 0.0.0.0, the IP serial console will automatically
use the default NTP servers. In this case, the IP serial console should be connected from the network to the Internet. The second
method is to set date and time manually without using the NTP server. This will allow the date and time information to be kept
maintained by the internal battery backup.
By convention, weather scientists use one time zone, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This time is also known as Universal Time (UTC).
The user may also need to set the time zone and the time offset from UTC depending on the user location to set system date and
time exactly, and the time offset from UTC. It allows the IP serial console to calculate the exact system time. The Time offset value x
could be positive or negative integer. Please refer to the website http://time_zone.tripod.com/ for the time offset from UTC.
Note :
■
The IP serial console provides RTC (Real Time Clock) function powered by a lithium battery (CR2032, 3V).
So the data/time will be maintained even encounter power loss to the unit.
■
If you repeatedly loss the date / time information please replace the battery.
■
Replace the 3-Volt CR2032 battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery
manufacturer. A new battery can explode if it is incorrectly installed. Discard the inappropriate one if possible.
