Step 5 - Setting The Time - Digital Alert Systems DASDEC-III DAS3-EX Quick Start Manual

DASDEC-III
Quick Start Guide
When it comes to EAS, time accuracy is very important. There are two ways to set the time, either manually or using
an NTP server. Using an NTP server is recommended as it provides the highest level of accuracy and requires less user
intervention.
Navigate to the Setup > Time page. Set the region you're located in and the time zone
input the current time and date
(shown in red).
Digital clocks will drift over time and must be monitored to maintain accuracy. Using an NTP server is
recommended as it accounts for time drift and automatically updates the internal clock. Public NTP servers are
listed at http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi
Type the server domain name or IP address into the field
(shown in red). This will accept and restart NTP services.
Note: An NTP domain name can only be used if DNS services are enabled in the network settings, if they are not enabled
then an IP address must be used instead. Also, the check box to start/restart NTP may need to be cleared and checked
multiple times to properly refresh the service.
