Tip: You can use a fully qualified domain name instead of an IP
address for most configuration options calling for an IP address if your
PinPoint X is configured to use DNS. Refer to the IP Manager chapter
for how to configure DNS and how to allow your PinPoint X use a
domain name even with a dynamic IP address account from AT&T.

Tip: AceManager displays the current time (UTC) set in the PinPoint
X and does not translate it to the local time zone. If the PinPoint X is in
California and it is 8 a.m., the modem’s time will be shown as 4 p.m,
since UTC is 8 hours “ahead” of Pacific time (UTC-8).
