Digital Alert Systems: DASDEC User Manual
Date and Time
Make changes to date and/or time and/or time zone, and then click Submit Date/Time/ Time zone Changes. If time
zone is changed, the DASDEC II will restart, and you will be forced to log back into the Web interface. If the time is set
forward far enough, you will also be forced to log back into the DASDEC II Web interface.
Official time link
If your browser has Internet access, click this link to pop-up a web page that displays the current official time.
Network Time Protocol (NTP) Configuration
The DASDEC II supports Network Time protocol (NTP) to synchronize its clock to another clock over a network. This will
synchronize the DASDEC II to an atomic clock over the Internet, or to another computer running NTP on your LAN, or to
another DASDEC II running as an NTP server on your LAN.
NTP Server name or IP Address:
Enter a name or dot notation IP address of a remote NTP server that is accessible from the DASDEC II LAN.
[ ] The checkbox for NTP must be checked to start NTP. If no NTP server name is entered and NTP is enabled, then the
DASDEC II will become an NTP server that can be pointed at from other DASDEC IIs over the LAN.
NTP Server Info
This is an informational display area that provides status about the NTP connection. Use this information to verify the
time offset between the DASDEC II and the NTP source server.
Public NTP Servers
Public NTP servers can be viewed by following the link provided.
4.4 Setup > Users
The Setup Users page is to manage user accounts on the DASDEC II Web Interface. Only accounts with Administrative
permission are allowed into this page. Keep in mind that these user accounts are separate from the Linux system user
accounts. They do NOT control permissions to login to the base Linux system. From the Setup Users page, you can add
and delete user accounts, change the account Web Interface passwords, and set user permission levels. The Admin
account cannot be deleted, and only Admin can change the Admin password. Non-Admin accounts can be used to allow
users different levels of access. For instance, creating a user with View Only Level permission would allow EAS alert
activity report downloads without risking the chance of accidental changes to DASDEC II settings.
NOTE: The computer hosting the Web browser must have Internet access to follow this link,
and the DASDEC II must be able to contact the chosen NTP server.
