The basic settings of the ComBricks are customized on the 'General configuration' page. For optimal use of
ProfiTrace OE, it is important that the time is synchronized and the site info is sufficiently filled in (see Fig. 31).
If your ComBricks is connected to Internet or a local NTP server, use the NTP server synchronization for
automatic date & time update. This keeps your ComBricks always set to the right time
Head Station firmware v1.278 and up). If the ComBricks clock differs more than 10 seconds from the NTP clock,
a line in the system log is added.
The automatic time update occurs when the set interval has passed. The maximum interval that can be set is
1440 minutes, which corresponds to 24 hours. Please note that there is no option for auto-updating to Daylight
Saving Time (DST). This is because this is not used in Factory Automation. When an NTP server is used, the time
is always assumed to be winter time.

The display refresh rate has to be tuned to the bandwidth of the Ethernet connection. By default it is set to a 1
second automatic refresh. If the bandwidth is limited, it is recommended to increase this time or to switch the
automatic refresh OFF (see Fig. 31).
It is possible to select the start page which is first displayed when browsing to the Head Station IP address. You
can select the Main Status page, System Log page, Live List, Statistics, Channel list Message Recording or
Network Event log. You can also select for which network this should apply.
The interface language can be changed in the Preferred Language drop-down box. More languages will be
added in the future, which will become available in new firmware updates.
