DATE AND TIME CONFIGURATION
The SM5200 acts as a Network Time server (NTP) for the private Endura network. Date and Time Configuration contains date and time settings affecting both the system manager and all devices on the Endura network.
The system manager provides two options for determining the date and time of your system manager and other Endura devices.
Use the system manager as an independent time server: The system manager applies a manually entered date and time to all Endura devices.
Sync date and time with an external time server: The system manager applies the date and time determined by an external network time server to all endura devices. It is recommended that you use an external time server.
NOTES:
•Saving revised date and time settings will cause the unit to restart.
•The SM5200 is built upon standard server hardware and will eventually exhibit time drift. If accurate time is essential, select the “Sync date and time with an external time server option” and sync the date and time with a calibrated, external time source such as a GPS clock.
