Hard-Wired Network Clock Configuration - Sapling Prayer Clock Installation Manual

Hard-Wired Network Clock Configuration

The next steps will be determined by the type of clock you have.
If using a hard-wired network cable clock, follow the below steps.
If using a Wi-Fi clock, please skip to the next section "Wi-Fi Network Clock Configuration."
IP hard-wired clocks can be set to DHCP or Static IP address. The clock is shipped in DHCP mode as
default. This means that once the clock is connected to the network, it is assigned the next available
IP address by a DHCP server. It is user changeable, meaning that the clock can be set with a static IP
address and that these settings can be changed in the clock built-in web interface (as explained later
on in this section).
If you wish to be able to access the web interface from a computer, Port 80 must be open.
If you wish to access your clock using a known, unchanging Static IP address, see instructions later on
in this section.
If you wish to access the web interface while the clock is in DHCP mode, use the Network Monitoring
Software to view the clocks (displays) and then double click on a specific clock (display) that you would
like to program.
Once the Network Monitoring Software has been installed and is running, it will automatically detect
network-based clocks (displays) that have been powered and are on the same network, as shown in
the below image.
Please note that behind the clock's back panel are labels listing each clock's (display's) serial number
and MAC address. This information is provided to identify each clock (display) from the 7 (or 6) clocks
(displays) that are mounted in the vertical housing. User may use this information later on to change
each clock (display) name (if needed).
Naming the clock (display) will allow us to know which clock (display) is being interfaced with. The top
clock and the below digital displays dedicated for prayer times are already named by the manufacturer
by default to be identified as: "Local Time" for the top 12" square clock, while each digital display is
named based on the prayer name it's presenting. Please also note that each clock's (display's) serial
number and MAC address are placed on the back panel in order from top to bottom, correlating with
the 12" square clock being on top, going down, as shown in the following image. Knowing each
clock's (display's) MAC address will also allow the user to identify each clock (display) appearing on the
Network Monitoring Software.
