Enabling Time Synchronization
Time Synchronization
5-2 Efficia CM Series Network Configuration Guide
Data Export
With Data Export, the monitor and the server must be in the same time zone. When the
monitor exports patient data, it synchronizes its time to the clock on your hospital EHR
server or HL7 interface server. You do not make adjustments for DST. The monitor sends
patient data to the receiving system, and then expects an Acknowledgment (ACK)
message from the receiving system indicating that the patient data was received and
validated. The clock on the monitor is synchronized using the timestamp in the ACK
message.
SNTP
With SNTP and when no central monitor is connected, the monitor synchronizes time to
an SNTP server. You can specify the SNTP server address, select the time zone that
corresponds with your region, and allow the clock to automatically adjust for daylight
saving time. The monitor synchronizes time with the SNTP server every five minutes, or
every two minutes if the previous attempt fails.
Verify the following:
• The SNTP server address is valid
• The time zone is set correctly
• If your time zone supports DST, the
Auto adjust clock for DST is checked in the
Date/Time Settings Menu
