Time Management
Broadlinx time settings are used only to timestamp the “Events” log
entries. The menu is shown in Figure 102 .
Figure 102.
This clock will synchronize automatically to a VITC signal on line 14
1
of the sync reference input.
The Daylight Savings Time box must be checked or unchecked manu-
ally at the appropriate time during the year.
The UTC Offset is the number of hours that standard time at the cus-
tomer location is ahead or behind Universal Time Coordinated (Green-
wich Mean Time). For example, for the U.S. Eastern time zone the entry
would always be “-5:00.”
If a SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) server will be used as a time
source, select the SNTP radio button and enter the IP address of the
server.
The SNTP address can also be changed on the Configure Net Interface
menu. If the SNTP server is on another network you may need to enter
the IP address of the gateway to that network (see page 175 ).
If no external reference is available, the clock will run in stand-alone
mode. In this case, click the “Manual” button and enter the appropriate
values.
