Page 5: Introduction
NetLinx Master clock to an Internet time server. Internet time servers provide highly accurate time and i!-TimeManager keeps the NetLinx Master synchronized to the time servers. i!-TimeManager accounts for daylight saving time changes (DTS changes) using U.S. or custom DTS rules. i!-TimeManager also calculates and provides events for sunrise and sunset. -

4. In the i!-TimeManager Select Components dialog, select which example programs you would like to install. 5. In the Select i!-TimeManager Install Location dialog, use the Browse button to navigate to a directory other than the default install directory, if desired. Click Next. -
Page 7: Time Protocols
US, the Day and Time of the servers is supplied in Universal time Coordinates or UTC. i!-TimeManager is capable of connecting to any of the NIST Time servers and calculating the correct time and date for any location in the world. i!-Time Manager also supports the standard NIST server list, a file called nist-srv.lst, and will attempt to read this file from doc:\user\time. -
Page 8: Time Protocol
It is possible to configure an SNTP server to broadcast the time in SNTP format to an entire network or node of a network. i!-TimeManager can be configured to actively retrieve the time in SNTP format from an SNTP server (protocol number 3) or simply listen for SNTP broadcasts on the network (protocol number 4). - Page 9 Time protocols, but the DayTime is the most common protocol provided by NIST servers. i!-TimeManager will synchronize the NetLinx Master’s time with the servers at NIST. It would be a good idea to setup the DNS server entries on the NetLinx Master but not required. If the name lookup fails for a given server name, the IP address is tried directly.
