Clear Consoles
This feature is generally only required for use by RDM. The DMTouch supports a maximum of three Orbit Outstations at any one time.
Use this feature when adding a new Orbit Outstation to a DMTouch network if the new Orbit Outstation has been assigned an IP address
but will not connect to the DMTouch.
Network Card Setup
Service – System – Miscellaneous – Network Card Setup.
Setup the Network fields:
If the primary Ethernet port (eth0) is not for controllers, but for
connection to other systems, select DHCP to off and consoles to No.
Note 1: The DHCP server operates on Eth 0 only.
If a secondary IP network card is not present or the feature has not
been enabled then the user will only see Eth0 on this screen.
Note 2: When setting Eth 1 Address and Eth 1 Netmask the Default
Gateway address must be 0.0.0.0. Once Eth 1 Address and
Netmask are set, the Default Gateway address can be entered.
Here the current time and date can be manually entered. It is recommended
that the user restart the panel when altering the time or date manually. Note
the “Time-zone” option, found under System and then Site Set Up, should be
changed if the dmTouch is in a location other than the default zone “Europe,
London” before editing the time and date via this page.
If the option “Use NTP” is used then the IP address of an NTP time server
can be entered. The dmTouch will then periodically synchronise with the NTP
server time/date.
If connecting to the dmTouch through a PC you can press Get PC Time and
the dmTouch will take the time from your PC.
Note: You must seek the permission from the owner of the NTP time server
before directing the dmTouch to it.
