Date/Time

The Spider contains an internal real time clock which maintains a basic date and time
after being set. The clock, however, will be reset if the unit loses power. If an accurate
date and time are critical, the Spider supports synchronization with Network Time
Protocol servers. Internally, the date and time are only used to timestamp events in the
log and for the inactivity timeout.
To configure the date and time settings:
1. Select Device Settings Date/Time from the Main Menu. The Date/Time Settings
window displays.
2. Modify the following fields:
UTC Offset
User Specified Time
Synchronize with NTP
Time Server
3. Click Apply to save settings. Click Reset to Def to restore system defaults.

Set the parameters to match connected equipment.
Time servers deliver time as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC,
or Greenwich Mean Time). Select the appropriate offset in hours
± from the pull-down menu.
Manually input the current date and time. The Spider keeps time
as long as power is applied. It has an internal calendar, but does
not know about daylight savings time and requires resetting
twice a year. The internal clock accuracy is ±30ppm.
Enter a primary and secondary time server in the respective
fields. Ensure NAT and firewalls are set up to allow the protocol
to pass. Also, provide the Spider with DNS server names.
