System time
By default, the Connect IT 16/48 device synchronizes the system time by periodically connecting to
the Digi NTP server, time.devicecloud.com. In this mode, the device queries the time server based on
following events and schedule:
n At boot time.
n Once a day.
The default configuration has the system time zone set to UTC. No additional configuration is required
for the system time if the default configuration is sufficient. However, you can change the default time
zone and the default NTP server, as well as configuring additional NTP servers. If multiple servers are
configured, a number of time samples are obtained from each of the servers and a subset of the NTP
clock filter and selection algorithms are applied to select the best of these. See Configure the system
time for details about changing the default configuration.
The Connect IT 16/48 device can also be configured to use Network Time Protocol (NTP). In this
configuration, the device serves as an NTP server, providing NTP services to downstream devices. See
Network Time Protocol for more information about NTP server support.
