DESCRIPTION
Time Server
Use Time Server
when Bootup
Select the time service protocol that your time server sends when you turn on the
BIPAC-5100/5100W. Not all time servers support all protocols, so you may have to
check with your ISP/network administrator or use trial and error to find a protocol
that works.
The main difference between them is the format.
Daytime (RFC 867)
format is day/month/year/time zone of the server.
Time (RFC 868)
format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total number of seconds
since 1970/1/1 at 0:0:0.
The default,
NTP (RFC 1305),
is similar to Time (RFC 868).
Select
None
to enter the time and date manually.
Time Server IP
Address
Enter the IP address of your time server. Check with your ISP/network
administrator if you are unsure of this information.
Time Zone Choose the time zone of your location. This will set the time difference between
your time zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Daylight Savings Select this option if you use daylight savings time. Daylight saving is a period from
late spring to early fall when many countries set their clocks ahead of normal local
time by one hour to give more daytime light in the evening.
Start Date Enter the month and day that your daylight-savings time starts on if you selected
Daylight Savings
.
End Date Enter the month and day that your daylight-savings time ends on if you selected
Daylight Savings
.
Calibrate system
clock with Time
Server now
Click this button to have your BIPAC-5100/5100W use the time server (that you
configured above) to set its internal system clock.
Please wait for up to 60 seconds while the BIPAC-5100/5100W locates the time
server. If the BIPAC-5100/5100W cannot find the time server, please check the
time server protocol and its IP address. If the IP address was entered correctly, try
pinging it for example to test the connection.
Date
Current Date This field displays the date of your BIPAC-5100/5100W.
Each time you reload this page, the BIPAC-5100/5100W synchronizes the time with
the time server.
New Date
(yyyy-mm-dd)
This field displays the last updated date from the time server.
When you select
None
in the
Use Time Server when Bootup
field, enter the new
date in this field and then click
