Auto-Sync Time Clock

10.To define e-mail notification for Backup, Report, and/or Time Sync transactions, (i.e., a clock failure to synchronize with a specific time server), click on the E-maillink under Notification, and the E-Mail Settings screen will

appear with the SMTP tab (see Figure 4-15). Click on the button to save e-mail settings.

Look – Skip Step 10 if notification of clock transactions is not required.

11.To define Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Traps which notify a network administrator of significant events via SNMP messages, click on the SNMP Trap link under Notification, and the SNMP Trap Settings screen will

appear (see Figure 4-19). Click on the button to save SNMP settings.

Look – Skip Step 11 if SNMP Traps are not required. The method of SNMP trap notification, i.e., instant messaging, is completely user controlled and has nothing to do with the clock. See your network administration for assistance.

12.To setup Time Sync, Report, and Backup schedules, click on the Schedules link under Scheduling, and the Schedule List screen will appear (see Figure

4-20). From the Schedule List screen, click on the , or buttons to add or edit a schedule and the Schedule Settings setup screen will appear.

Define the Schedule, and click on the button to retain the schedule in the clock memory.

Look – Skip Step 12 if the 2 default time sync schedules are sufficient and no backup and report schedules are required.

NOTE: Your clock comes with two (2) default Time Sync schedules which can be customized and/or deleted. However, the clock must have at least one defined schedule to maintain time validation.

NOTE: At a pre-determined time of the day and day of the week, the Auto-Sync Time Clock can be set to confirm or validate that a time/date synchronization signal has been received. This is called time synchronization or “Signal Validation". This time validation is controlled by setting up schedules as described in How to Setup Time Synchronization Schedules in Chapter 4.

Congratulations – You have finished customizing the configuration of your Auto- Sync Time Clock!! All of your settings have been saved in the clocks flash memory. It is recommended to make a backup of your settings (see Figure

4-23. Backup Utility) with the Backup Utility. A backup file could be used, if required, to reload all these settings with the Restore Utility.

NOTE: The Backup/Restore Utility can also be used to create a shared “ATVSConfig.bin” file to replicate a copy of the setup of one clock to another Auto-Sync Time Clock (for additional information, see Performing Backup and Restore). Also, see the Auto-Sync Utility CD that is included with your clock, which can be used to “get selected clock configuration.”
