Time
Time sets the time zone for the processor, synchronizes the time, and congures the
Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers. Refer to Figure 44.
Figure 44: Conguration - Time
Use the Time Zone drop-down list to select the correct time zone for the display. The
correct time zone is necessary for accurate astronomical brightness control and system
log time stamps. The default time zone is (UTC-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada).
Click the Synchronize button to synchronize the display’s clock with the laptop’s internal
clock.
Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers synchronize
the controller’s clock with the selected time
server. This setting is the default clock source
and runs in the background to automatically
maintain a precise time. The controller’s
network settings must be correct and the user
must have access to the time server for this
function to operate.
Set the NTP state as Active or Inactive. If the
state is Active, two default addresses are used
for synchronizing the time. Refer to Figure 45.
• The rst address is the primary NTP server. The default address is
0.daktronics.pool.ntp.org.
• The second address is the secondary NTP server. The default address is
1.daktronics.pool.ntp.org.
These default addresses may be changed and additional NTP servers can be added by
clicking the Add Server button.
