How to Set Time Synchronization | Black Box ASTC3000POE, ASTCRCR

Auto-Sync Time Clock

NOTE: Only uppercase characters will be printed. Every time you enter text or a symbol, and press the Add Text or Add Symbol buttons that is considered a “row” which appears in the row box. A maximum of 10 rows will be accepted. Trying to save a print line with greater than 150 dots will generate the error message; “Symbol is invalid, exceeded the maximum length”.

If you make a mistake entering text and/or symbols you must press the

button to clear the Message and row display and re-enter your desired print.

4.1.7. How to Set Time Synchronization

The following procedures for Time Sync Settings, Time Servers, and DNS Servers can be used to setup custom parameters for time validation to ensure your Auto- Sync Time Clock is accurate and meets your requirements. For example, an internal Time Server could be configured instead of one of the default time servers which require Internet access.

4.1.7.1. Time Sync Settings

1.Click on the Settings link under Time Sync and the Time Sync Settings screen will appear (see Figure 4-11).

2.Select the Sync Type: Auto Sync (default) or ATVS Software Sync from the drop down menu. ATVS Software Sync should only be checked if you are using the Auto-Sync Time Clock with ATVS Software. When ATVS syncs with the clock, it will automatically reset the Sync Type to ATVS Software Sync. If you wanted to disable the ATVS sync, you would have to change this setting back to Auto Sync.

3.Enter the Max Deviation that is acceptable to synchronize the clock. The maximum deviation is the difference in time between the clock and the time server. The range is 0 to 90000 milliseconds with a default = 3000 milliseconds (3 seconds). However, it is recommended to not set below 400 milliseconds due to normal inherent network latency.
