Setting the Date and Time

You can set the internal clock on the Dominion PX device manually, or link

to a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server and let it set the date and time for

Dominion PX.

To set the date and time:

1. Choose Device Settings > Date/Time. The Configure Date/Time

Settings dialog appears.

2. In the Time Zone field, click the drop-down arrow, and select your time

zone from the list.

3. If the daylight saving time applies to your time zone, verify the

Automatic Daylight Saving Time Adjustment checkbox is selected.

If the daylight saving time rules are not available for the selected time

zone, the checkbox is not configurable.

4. Choose one of the methods to set the date and time:

 To customize the date and time, select the User Specified Time

radio button, and then enter the date and time in appropriate fields.

Use the yyyy-mm-dd format for the date and the hh:mm:ss format

for the time.

 To set the date, delete existing numbers in the Date field and

type new ones, or click the calendar icon

to select a date.

See How to Use the Calendar (on page 61) for details.

 The time i

s measured in 24-hour format so enter 13 for 1:00pm,

14 for 2:00pm, and so on. You can enter the time by deleting

existing numbers and typing new ones in the hour, minute and

second fields, or clicking the arrows

to adjust each

number.

 To let an NTP server set the date and time, select the

"Synchronize with NTP Server" radio button, and then enter the IP

address or host name of the primary NTP server in the Primary

Time Server field. A secondary NTP server is optional.

Note: If the Dominion PX device's IP address is assigned through

DHCP, the NTP server addresses may be automatically discovered.

When this occurs, the data you entered in the fields of primary and

secondary time server will be overridden.

5. Click OK to save the changes.
