The Update Time setting determines how
frequently the DECS-400 accepts updates from
the network time server. A setting of 1 to 1,440
minutes is possible.
The Time Zone Offset setting provides the
necessary offset (in minutes) from the GMT
(Greenwich Mean Time) standard. For example,
CST (central standard time) is six hours behind
GMT and would require a setting of –360. The
Time Zone Offset range is –720 to 720.
Clicking the Send to Device button sends the
Network Time Protocol settings to the DECS-
400.
Modem Communication
The DECS-400’s modem connects through the rear-panel, RJ-11 connector designated J1. The modem
has a fixed baud rate of 9600. Modem access is read-only which prevents system control or the changing
of DECS-400 settings. Password access is not required for modem communication.
Connecting
Clicking Communications, Connect, and Modem displays a Modem Dial-Up Request dialog box where
a telephone number can be entered and then dialed by clicking the Send button. If an extension number
is to be called, commas may be required for line delays.
