4. Configure Manual, NTP or Time reference time and date with the help of the Time
source field.
Note: The Time reference setting requires that an appropriate clock input is ena-
bled as a reference interface before configuring the system clock Time source
(See section 2.6.2).
5. If you have configured Time source to Manual in the previous step, configure the
Date and Time field to your local time and date. If Time source has been config-
ured to Time reference, enter the UTC offset (hours), UTC offset (min). If the con-
figuration is to NTP then enter also the NTP server and wait for the equipment to
establish synchronization with the server.
11.5.Using the Remote Control
The remote control application constitutes a remote graphical user interface that
reproduces pixel by pixel the tester screen in virtually any remote device supporting the
VNC protocol. This includes not only computers but also smartphones or tablets. The
only requirements for the controlling devices are:
• IP connectivity with the tester. Any IP connection including Ethernet and WiFi
should work.
• They must have a VNC client installed. Currently, there are VNC clients for most
OS in the market. Some of them are free.
The remote control is an optional feature for xGenius that is supplied by ALBEDO
Telecom with an special license.
Before using the remote control you need to configure the platform Ethernet interface
and connect the equipment to the management network (See section 11.4.1). Once
this is done, follow this procedure to use the remote control:
1. From the Home panel, go to System,
The system configuration panel is displayed.
2. Select General settings to display miscellaneous system-wide settings, including
the ones referred to the remote control.
3. Enable the remote control with the help of Remote control.
4. Optionally, supply a password with Remote control password. The password you
configure here will be requested in all incoming VNC connections.
5. In the controlling device, run the VNC client and enter the password you have con-
figured in Remote control password if you are requested to do so.
