2. NODE SETUP Web Page
How to get here: From the top navigation bar of the selected Node.
Background: A time stamp is included in email messages and in streaming data sent by the Node.
If the Node has a path to the Internet (also required for email), the Node will automatically obtain
accurate UTC/GMT time (Coordinated Universal Time or Greenwich Mean Time) from an online
NTP time server. The Node’s time zone, daylight saving time status, and the offset from UTC/GMT
time are supplied using this screen.
Top row: Links to DEVICE INTERFACE SETUP, EMAIL SETUP, and NETWORK SETUP screens for
this Node.
TIME ZONE: Select one of the six listed North American time zones, or select "Other". This data will
be used in the time stamp included in email messages and in streaming data sent by the Node.
Press GO to enter any change.
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS: Indicate whether or not GMT Offset (Sec) should be automatically corrected
for daylight saving time, which causes the local clock to be adjusted forward one hour in spring
and backward one hour in autumn. This correction is only applied if a North American time zone
was selected. Press GO to enter any change.
GMT OFFSET (SEC): When the Node has a path to the Internet (as required for email), it will
automatically obtain accurate UTC/GMT time (Coordinated Universal Time / Greenwich Mean
Time) from an online NTP time server. If a North American time zone was selected, this field will
automatically display the offset in seconds from UTC/GMT time. If “Other” was selected, you need
to enter the GMT offset in seconds. To obtain the required entry, do a Google search for "world
time zones" and convert the listed offset in hours to seconds by multiplying by 3600. Press GO to
enter any change.
