3.6.3 Time Information
Each event may also send the date and time when it has occurred. The 104S v2
gateway supports the CP56 time format (as defined in the protocol specification).
This format contains the milliseconds, seconds, minute, hour, day, month and
year when the event has occurred.
The 104S v2 gateway may also be configured not to send any time information
with each event for certain data types.
The following "Time Type" parameters may be used to control the time
information for each data type:
Note: The client should send a Time Synchronization command to the gateway in order to
synchronize its date and time information, according to the protocol specifications. Depending on
certain parameters, as well as hardware limitations, the gateway may present some time delay
over time. The client should periodically send time synchronization requests to the 104S gateway.
