You can specify the timeserver either from your Optimod's front panel or from
its PC Remote software. From the front panel, you can only enter the time-
server's IP address (for example, 192.43.244.18). If you specify the timeserver
from PC Remote, you can specify either its named address (for example,
time.nist.gov) or its IP address.

the connection is successful, the Optimod's clock will automatically synchro-
nize to the timeserver.
 If the connection is not successful within five seconds, the display will indi-
cate that the connection failed. This means either that the timeserver is too
busy or that your setup cannot connect to the timeserver. Double-check the
IP address. If you are behind a firewall, make sure that port 123 is open.
 If your connection failed, the gateway address might not be set correctly
on your Optimod. The gateway address for the timeserver connection is the
same gateway address that you set in step (1.D) on page 2-38. If you do not
know the correct gateway address, you can often discover it by connecting
a Windows computer to the same Ethernet cable that is ordinarily plugged
into your Optimod. Ascertain that the computer can connect to the Inter-
net. At the command prompt, type ipconfig. The computer will return
the "Default Gateway."
