Time

The Time configuration page lets users set the time, date, and other settings. An explanation of each setting is given below the figure.

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

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