Media Folder page.

Choose the time method to use:
Network Time Protocol (NTP) – Best for accuracy but requires the iCOMPEL to have a network
connection to an external NTP server.
Windows Compatible Network Time Protocol – Use if the NTP server is a local Windows
server.
Local System Clock – The iCOMPEL internal clock. Only use if the iCOMPEL cannot access
an NTP server. Without an external reference, the local system clock may drift.
Select the time zone for the iCOMPEL to use.
If you chose the Local System Clock method, iCOMPEL activates this display. The values shown
are those current when you opened the Date and Time page. Adjust the date and time to those
required.
If you chose one of the NTP methods, you must enter the URL of at least one NTP server (three
are recommended).
