Periodic Time Synchronization with a Time Server on the Internet or a Local
Network
NTP (RFC 1305)
• Enter the IP addresses of up to three Time Servers in the corresponding
fields.
You can also use the symbolic names of the time servers (e.g.
time.nist.gov or ptptime1.ptb.de). Make sure that the MOBOTIX
camera has access to a valid DNS server for this to work.
• Activate the Adjust periodically checkbox.
• Click on the Set button at the bottom of the dialog.
• Click on the view link to see the output of the camera's NTP client. The infor-
mation is displayed in different colors: If the time server can be reached, the
NTP client output is amber; if the camera clock is synchronized, it is green.
Note that synchronizing with NTP can take quite some time, sometimes up to
30 minutes (this is also true when rebooting or after clicking the Set button).
Time Protocol (RFC 868)
• Enter the IP address of one Time Server providing Time Protocol in the corre-
sponding field.
You can also use the symbolic name of a time server (e.g. time.nist.gov
or ptptime1.ptb.de). Make sure that the MOBOTIX camera has access
to a valid DNS server for this to work.
• In the Time Server line of the Set Clock to section, click on the Set button. If
an error message is displayed at the bottom of the dialog, check the IP
address or the name of the time server; if they can be reached, make sure
that the DNS server can be reached (Admin Menu > Ethernet Interface).
Note: The Time Server row and the Set button of that row are only available
if Adjust periodically has
not
been activated.
• Activate the Adjust periodically checkbox.
• Click on the Set button at the bottom of the dialog.
