The date and time are kept on the SCALANCE S615 to check the validity (time) of
certificates and for the time stamps of log entries. You can set the system time yourself
manually or have it synchronized automatically with a time server. For this example, the time
server is configured using NTP.
Note
Manual time setting - reaction after interrupting the power supply
Note that the time is reset to the factory setting if the power supply is interrupted. On retu
of the power, you need to set the system time again. As result, certificates can lose their
validity.
