Configuring System Settings
Configuring Time/Clock Information
1 From the user interface of the D9824, choose System Settings > Time/Clock. The
Time/Clock page is displayed.
2 From the Date Format drop-down list, choose the date format of the receiver.
The following formats are supported: YYYY_MM_DD, DD_MM_YYYY,
MM_DD_YYYY.
3 From the Time Format drop-down list, choose the time format of the receiver.
Current time information is normally broadcast as part of the transmitted digital
signal. It is broadcast as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) with date information in
Modified Julian Date format. The following formats are supported: 24Hr, 24 Hr
SuspendZero (the leading zero is dropped from the time), 12Hr, 12Hr
SuspendZero (the leading zero is dropped from the time).
4 From the GMT Time Offset drop-down list, choose the GMT offset. The local
time is displayed using a time zone (GMT offset). If your local time is not GMT,
you must set this time setting in the range from -12.0 to +12.0 hours in 0.5 hour
increments.
5 The Current TDT Time/Date field displays the current TDT (Time and Date
Table) date and time received from the DVB stream. This is displayed as local
time.
6 Check the Enable NTP Time Service check box to periodically request NTP
(Network Time Protocol) timestamps from the NTP server (NTP server address
set below) and to synchronize its system (for example, non-DVB related) time
with the NTP server. This is displayed as local time.
7 In the NTP Server Address field, enter the IP address of the NTP server. If the
NTP server address is not set (0.0.0.0), the unit will not attempt to connect to the
server.
8 The Current NTP Time/Date field displays the current time if the unit receives a
valid reply from the NTP server, adjusted for local time zone.
9 Click Apply.
