  • Page 32 First Login – Set Date and Time The PDU has data logging and alarm notification functions that benefit from a time and date stamp. However, the PDU does not have a battery powered on-board clock. So, each time the PDU loses power, its clock also resets. This means you must manually reset the time and date or, alternatively, configure an NTP time server to do so automatically on power-up.
  • Page 33 The PDU must have network access to the time server. For detailed network setup, see the Settings – Network page. You can verify the PDU’s ability to synchronize with the saved NTP time servers by using the “Verify NTP Connection” button. If you do not wish to use a time server, and instead want to set the time and date manually, go to Time and Date Settings section.
