◗ Synchronize with NTP server: Enables connection with a time server, either available on the company’s internal
network or on the Web. This server communicates GMT time. The IP address or hostname of the time server must
be entered, and the time zone of your geographic area must then be selected from the list. Connection is made with
the server and the date and time are set after clicking on the "Save" button. Time is updated every five hours, thus
preventing any drift in the time. After two attempts, if the NTP server is not accessible, the card shifts to manual
mode.
The card uses the NTP protocol (UDP 123 port). The "firewall" must be set to transmit queries outside the intranet.
No error message is generated if the time server contact fails.
Note 1:
The even the card is used in a UPS supporting time-stamping, the card's time is automatically synchronized with that
of the UPS.
Note 2:
After start-up, if the card is in manual mode or if no NTP server was reached, the card initializes at 01/01/1970
