Eclipse Edge User Manual
• Providing the local terminal time is within 30 seconds of the server time it will
drift towards the server time at a rate not more than 1 second per 33 minutes. The
slow adjustment of time ensures no time-related disturbances to NMS network
timing and/or internally timed routines.
• In the unlikely event the local terminal time is more than 30 seconds from the
server time it will jump to the server time.
• If connection cannot be established at the scheduled hourly prompt, it will
automatically retry after 5 minutes and continue to retry every 5 minutes until
connection is re-established.
• More than one SNTP server can be listed, in which case the terminal will contact all
servers hourly and adjust to the average of the times presented from each server.
Having more than one server provides redundancy; in the event one server cannot be
contacted, the other (or others) should be contactable to provide continuity.
• The time server may be a device on the NMS network or a 3rd-party server with
connection via the Internet.
• SNTP server applications are available to run on PCs.
• For more information on SNTP servers and server sites, do a search on the
Internet using ‘SNTP server’.

software to a later version.
Software Version Control
When an Eclipse Edge terminal is shipped the software installed and the version
supplied on its installation CD should be the current release or the immediately prior
release, as defined by its Major and Minor version numbers only.
A version number incorporates major, minor and build numbers. For example in the
4.03.35 release ‘4’ is the major, ‘3’ the minor, and ‘35’ is the build.
• Major: increments for major functionality changes or platform changes.
• Minor: increments for minor functionality changes.
