Featured Functions

Time

EDS has a time calibration function based on information from an NTP server or user specified Time and Date information. Functions such as Auto warning Email can add real-time information to the message.

NOTE

EDS does not have a real time clock. The user must update the Current Time and Current Date

 

to set the initial time for EDS after each reboot, especially when the network doesn’t have an

 

Internet connection for NTP server or there is no NTP server on the LAN.
