How to Configure the Device Time

The UTN server has a device time. Correct time information is required for some network mechanisms, such as au-
thentication for example.
The device time of the UTN server can be set via an SNTP time server (Simple Network Time Protocol) in the net-
work. A time server synchronizes the time of devices within a network.
We recommend the use of a time server for regular operation, and use of the device
clock only for special cases such as the initial installation. This is because a time server
guarantees an accurate and synchronous time for all network participants.
In general, today's primary time standard 'UTC' (Universal Time Coordinated) is used. The time zone compensates
for location.
Important:
If your network in configured accordingly, the UTN server receives the time server
settings automatically via DHCP ( 20). A time server assigned in such a manner
always takes precedence over a manually set time server and the device clock.
 The network has a time server.
1. Start the utnserver Control Center Control Center.
2. Select DEVICE – Date/Time.
3. Tick Date/Time.
4. Into the Time server box, enter the IP address or the host name of the time server.
(The host name can only be used if a DNS server was configured beforehand 
5. From the Time zone list, select the code for your local time zone.
