6.1 Time Settings
The Time Settings view allows to configure the dataFEED Gateway system time.
Local time is not supported by the dataFEED Gateway. All time entries have to be entered as UTC time.
The system time can be synchronized by NTPv4 [RFC 5905], either from an NTP server within your LAN network or
from some Internet NTP server (e.g. 0.pool.ntp.org). In the later case you need to ensure that the UDP port 123 is
not blocked by a firewall.
To enable the NTP usage, activate the Obtain time automatically checkbox and enter the IP address or the host
and domain name of the NTP server into the NTP Server Address input field.
With NTP is enabled on the dataFEED Gateway other devices in your network can access the dataFEED Gateway as
NTP server.
