Enable Time Zone / NTP Change |
Enables Time Zone or NTP Server setting changes to be downloaded to Message Board. When the checkbox is selected and a setting change is saved, the change is scheduled to be downloaded to the Message Board during next connection to the facility's Ethernet network. When a change is downloaded to the Message Board, it continuously reboots for approximately 6 minutes. Once downloaded, deselect the checkbox and select Save to stop the device from rebooting. 12 minutes after a setting change is saved, the change expires; under the assumption the change was downloaded to the Message Board. |
Time Zone |
Set to a specific time zone or set to Default. Default indicates either set to the account's time zone or its assigned location's time zone. The Default Time Zone is displayed in (parentheses). If assigned to a location, the Default time zone is the location's time zone. |
NTP Server 1 & 2 |
NTP Server IP Address(es) or set to Default. Default indicates either set to the account's NTP Servers or its assigned location's NTP Servers. Use of external NTP Servers requires that port 123 is open to UDP traffic to allow a Message Board to connect to an external server. Primex recommends using the facility's designated NTP Servers, and set two valid NTP Servers to ensure a reasonable level of accuracy can be maintained. Use of a Domain name for the NTP Server, such as time.nist.gov, requires Domain Name resolution (DNS). |
