Subnet mask: The subnet mask is used to split IP networks into a series of subgroups (subnets). The mask is a binary pattern that is matched up with the IP address to turn part of the host ID address field into a field for subnets. You can enter a new subnet mask address using the same format that is used for the IP Address.

Date and time settings

The following settings are available in the Date/Time Settings section.

NOTE: This section lets you set the date and time on your PCS4 unit. However, the passage of time is not reflected in the Date and Time fields on the web

page. The screen continues to display the settings you entered and does not

increment them as time passes. However, the PCS4 itself continues to keep

the correct time internally, enabling you to schedule power on and off for the receptacles.

Date: Select month, day, and year from the pull-down menus.

Time: Select hours, minutes, and AM or PM from the pull-down menus.

Zone: From the pull-down menu, select the time zone for the PCS4 location (number of hours offset from Greenwich mean time).

Daylight Savings: Daylight savings time (DST) is a one-hour offset that is observed in some countries. You can select a radio button to set the PCS4 for daylight savings time for the US, Europe, or Brazil; or select Off to disable it.

The following daylight savings periods are observed:

US — Starts the second Sunday in March and ends the first Sunday in November.

Europe — Starts the last Sunday in March and ends the last Sunday in October.

Brazil — Starts the third Sunday in October and ends the third Sunday in February.

(Equatorial Brazil does not observe DST.)

4.Follow steps 2 and 3 to make changes in the other section, if desired.

Clicking Cancel in either section restores the previous settings, if the values you entered have not been submitted.
