Configuring the Time Service with the NTP Configuration Page
You must use the module’s embedded Web page to configure the time service for all TSX ETY modules,
except the TSX ETY 5103 module. For the TSX ETY 5103 module, you may configure the NTP service
via Unity Pro as long as the module is version 4.6 or later. For any earlier version, you must configure
the NTP service via the module’s embedded Web page.
Time Service Command Buttons
Execute the following commands:
Command Button

longer valid.
Cancel
Cancels new NTP (time service) configuration. Previous configuration is valid.
Disable NTP
IP of Primary and Standby set = 0.
NTP server not polled.
Time in controller not updated.
Configuring the Time Service via the NTP Tab in Unity
NOTE: You can configure the NTP service via Unity Pro with a Premium platform. The TSX ETY 5103
module must be version 4.6 or later. For any earlier version, you must configure the NTP service via the
module’s embedded Web page.
The following procedure shows you to access the NTP tab from the index page:
Step
Action
1
Access the module configuration screen.
2
In the Module Utilities field, select YES in the NTP menu. The other options are NO for no NTP
configuration and WEB for NTP configuration through the module Web pages.
3
Select the NTP tab.
Changing Time Service Parameters
To make any changes to the time synchronization service:
Step
Action
1
Enter changes in the appropriate field on the NTP Configuration page for one or all of the
configurable parameters.

Important Information about the Time Service
NOTE:
About the time service:
1. Enable/disable daylight savings time parameter
If the Enable/Disable check box is selected, the module automatically corrects the local time to
account for daylight savings time. Therefore, no action is required, as the daylight savings time
start and end are automatically changed each year.
2. Polling time parameter
The time (in seconds) is the time between time updates from the NTP server. The default is 5
seconds.
3. Storing the time service configuration
The last time service configuration is saved internally in the Ethernet module.
4. Replacing the Ethernet module
If the Ethernet module has to be replaced, the stored configuration is lost, and the system returns
to the default configuration.
Customizing Time Zone Parameters
If you want a time zone not listed in the time zone table:
Step
Action
1
Write the text rules for the custom time zone.
2
Using an FTP client, store your rules in the file:
/FLASH0/wwwroot/conf/NTP/customrules
user ID: ntpupdate
Comment
Root directory to store 'customrules' is set
by the FTP server as
/FLASH0/wwwroot/conf/NTP
password: ntpupdate
3
When the rules are written, choose the drop
The NTP component looks for
down menu on the NTP Configuration web page, customrules, calls the tz compiler and
and configure (or reboot) the module by selecting generates a new file called 'tz_custom'.
This file is binary file and should not be
Time Zone = Custom
edited.
If the tz compiler detects a syntax error in
customrules, the error is logged in the
file:
/FLASH0/wwwroot/conf/NTP/error.log
1. NTP component is not launched.
2. NTP Status field in diagnostic web
page displays NOT OK.
4
If you want more information, the syntax to write those rules along with a few examples are
found in the module in:
/FLASH0/wwwroot/conf/NTP/instructions.txt
