Time/Date Settings Help

Several features of Quadro (e.g. the answering machine or security log files etc.) can't work correctly if they don't have access to an exact time and data. Therefore it is possible to configure Quadro as a time server and/or time client. If both is enabled, Quadro will retrieve the time from the Internet (as a client) and distribute it to all stations within the LAN (as a server). Quadro will support Daylight Savings (DST) correction if it is available for the selected time zone.

The first drop down lists are used to set the local Time and Date.

With the following checkbox Quadro can be turned into a Simple Network Time Protocol Server to distribute the time and date settings to all stations connected to its LAN. Activating the second checkbox will turn Quadro into a Simple Network Time Protocol Client to get the correct time from a remote clock anywhere in the Internet.

The SNTP Servers table lists all defined SNTP Servers. Following functional buttons are available on this page:

• The Add functional button opens an Add SNTP Server page where new NTP server can be defined.
• The Edit opens the Edit SNTP Server page where the traphost settings can be modified. This page has the same components as Add SNTP Server page does.
• The Delete removes the selected SNTP server(s) from the table.
• The Move Up and Move Down functional buttons are used to sort SNTP servers in the order they need to be accessed. If the SNTP server in the first position of the SNTP Servers table does not answer, SNTP server in the next position will try to be reached then.

Note: You can add another NTP server to the list if the defined NTP servers are not functional (for example, Quadro's date/time is not being automatically updated).

The drop down list Polling Interval indicates the time interval for the periodical synchronization between the timeserver and Quadro. It counts in hours.
