Synchronize Clocks

The synchronization command sets the clock in all gateways and controllers to the time set in the system PC. This command requires a System Administrator password for execution. After authentication, the following actions occur:

• Application Server will send out a synchronization command with its PC clock (date/time) in UTC format to all connected Gateways.
• If the Gateway is not on the same PC as the Application Server, the Gateway service will set the PC clock to the UTC reference with local time zone adjustment.
• The Gateway service will then send the new date/time to each controller.

1. From the Setup Menu, in the Hardware icon group, click the icon. The Synchronize Clocks window appears.
2. Enter your System Administrator password and click the OK Button.

3. Synchronization is automatically performed on the network, setting all Gateways and controllers to the system PC time.

Note: You can use the System Calendar licensed feature to automatically set up clock synchronizing for a weekly, daily time synching ensuring that the time stamp at the controller is always accurate.
