Enabling Grabtime; Synchronize With A Local Time Server - Honeywell VX6 Reference Manual

Enabling GrabTime

Enabling GrabTime
S
The VX6 has a GrabTime utility which can automatically synchronize the VX6 with a time server
(via an Internet connection or a local time server) at boot up.
By default, using GrabTime for time synchronization at boot up is Off. Grabtime can be run at any
time (even when Off at boot up) using the Sync button on the Date/Time control panel.
To enable GrabTime to run automatically at boot up, run \Windows\tmsync.reg and perform a
warmboot. For more detail, see "LAUNCH.EXE", earlier in this chapter.
Note:

Synchronize with a Local Time Server

By default, GrabTime synchronizes via an Internet connection. To synchronize with a local time
server:
1. Use ActiveSync to copy GrabTime.ini from the My Device | Windows folder on the mobile
device to the host PC.
2. Edit the copy of GrabTime.ini on the host PC. Add the local time server's domain name to
the beginning of the list of servers. You can optionally delete the remainder of the list.
3. Copy the modified GrabTime.ini file to the My Device | System folder on the mobile
device.
The System/GrabTime.ini file takes precedence over the Windows/GrabTime.ini file.
System/Grabtime.ini also persists after a coldboot; Windows/Grabtime.ini does not persist.

The ability to enable GrabTime to run automatically is only present on VX6's with
software revision 2BT or greater. For more information on identifying the
software version of your VX6, please see "Identifying your VX6" in Chapter 2,
"Physical Description and Layout".
This utility affects the behavior of GrabTime at warmboot. After a coldboot, GrabTime is
disabled.
