 If your connection failed, the gateway address might not be set correctly
on your Optimod. The gateway address for the timeserver connection is the
same gateway address that you set in step (1.D) on page 2-48. If you do not
know
the correct gateway address, you can often discover it by connecting
a Windows computer to the same Ethernet cable that is ordinarily plugged
into your Optimod. Ascertain that the computer can connect to the Inter-
net. At the command prompt, type ipconfig. The computer will return
the “Default Gateway.”
5. Specify the time sync from the Optimod PC Remote software:
[Skip this step if you wish to specify the timeserver and time sync parameters
from your Optimod’s front panel.]
Optimod PC Remote software can automatically set your Optimod’s local time,
O
FFSET, and TIME SERVER to reflect the Windows settings in the machine running
PC Remote software.
If you are running Windows 2000, you cannot specify the timeserver from
your computer. However, you can still set your Optimod’s clock and off-
set.
A) In Windows, navigate to the CONTROL PANEL > DATE AND TIME > TIME ZONE tab.
B) Set time zone to correspond to your local time zone.
C) In Windows, navigate to the C
ONTROL PANEL > DATE AND TIME > INTERNET TIME
tab.
D) If you are running Windows XP:
a) Check “Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server” to set your
Optimod’s S
YNC PERIOD to “24.”
Depending on how your network is configured, this option may not be
available in Windows XP, so “Automatically synchronize with an Internet
time server” will not appear. In this case, you must use your Optimod’s
front panel to set the timeserver (step 4 on page 2-56 ).
b) Set “Server” to the desired timeserver.
c) Click the “Update Now” button to synchronize your computer’s clock to
the selected timeserver. If this is successful, this means that you can connect
to the selected timeserver over your network.
 The I
NTERNET TIME tab is not available in Windows 2000. If you are running
Optimod PC Remote on Windows 2000, you must enter the timeserver from
your Optimod’s front panel as an IP address (step 4 on page 2-56).
 If
the timeserver you selected in Windows is a named address not an IP ad-
dress the 9400 will resolve it correctly, but the IP address that appears in
your Optimod’s display will be 0.0.0.0.
 To use PC Remote to turn off your Optimod’s automatic synchronization,
uncheck “Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server” on your
