a) Internal Clock
Unlike a PC, there is no local clock (with battery) in Axel thin clients. To provide
a local clock we have introduced support for a time client (NTP protocol). This
allows the time to be obtained when the thin client is powered on.
Enter the time server IP address (or the DNS name). This information can be
automatically obtained via the DHCP protocol. (See Chapter 3.1.2).
The date and time can be displayed within the thin client taskbar. The following
option allows the display formats to be selected:
- Date Format: 'JJ/MM/AA' or 'MM/JJ/AA'
- Time Format: 'HH:MM' or 'hh:MM'. (For the second format the time is
displayed 'modulo 12' with PM or AM after.)
b) Time Redirection
The thin client negotiates its own local time zone. This allows different ‘local
times’ to be displayed on thin clients in different geographic regions?
Note: the time zone redirection function must be enabled on the Windows 2003
server. See Chapter 5.5.6.
The time zone parameters are:
- Time Zone GMT: positive or negative offset from GMT.
- Time Zone Name: a non-empty character string ("GMT Standard Time"
by default). This character string must match one of the available
Microsoft time zone name (case sensitive). See Appendix A.7.4.
- Daylight Saving: enabling daylight saving function.
