Synchronising the PC Clock
With the network service SNTP (simple network time protocol) it is possible to syn-
chronise the internal clock of a workstation computer with the time of the
OpenCom 100.
Requirements
You must enter the time zone so that the OpenCom 100 can calculate the time of the
internal clock back to the GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) required for SNTP:
1. Go to the Configurator, System: Common menu. Click on Change.
2. Enter the Time zone for which the time of the OpenCom 100 applies and whether
summer time is allowed for. Confirm this with Apply.
Configuring SNTP
For various operating systems, you can use one of the numerous SNTP programmes
offered for downloading on the Internet. Configure the OpenCom 100 as an SNTP
server for such programmes.
Please note: In a Windows domain network, the PDC server (primary domain
controller) should automatically assume the function of the
timer.
SNTP with Windows XP
Here you configure the SNTP server by double-clicking on the time in the Start bar.
Enter the OpenCom 100 as the Server in the Internet time tab.
