11.3 Setup Date and Time

RX3141 keeps a record of the current date and time, which it uses to calculate and report various data. However, there is no real time clock inside RX3141; RX3141 relies on external time servers to maintain correct time. RX3141 allows you to configure up to three external time servers. Make sure that the “Enable” check box is checked to activate the SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) service for time keeping.

 

Changing the date and time on RX3141 does not affect the date
