Select the items you want to save, and click “Download”. The configuration file will download to your web-browser, where you can save the file for future use.
on the Network Diagnostics page to check if you have connectivity to the NTP Server IP address.
Patch file firmware upgrade
To upgrade the module firmware locally using a firmware patch file, click
System Tools
on the menu, and then click
Firmware Upgrade
and browse for the saved firmware patch file. When you locate the file, click
Send
to upload the file to the module. A status message appears. If the upgrade was successful, click

Setting the date and time
This feature is associated with data logging. The module needs access to the current date and time to make effective use of data
logging if this feature is enabled on the module (see “Data logging” on
page 62
).
To configure the date and time, click
System Tools
on the menu, and then click
Set Date and Time
. This displays the page in
Figure 7878
. There are two ways you can set the date and time on this page:
•
Manually enter the date and time.
•
Enable Network Time Protocol (NTP) to retrieve the time and date from a remote time server. This method requires network access to an NTP server.
If you set the date and time manually, keep in mind that the date and time function does not support time zones or daylight savings time. Normally you should set the time to UTC (Universal Time). You can set the time to your local time, but you will need to remember to change the time if your location uses daylight savings. When the time is set manually, the module uses an internal real-time-clock to keep time during loss of power. This real time clock has power to run for at least twelve hours (typical 3-5 days). If the duration of the power loss is too long, the time at power restoration will be the time that power was lost.
To use the NTP feature, you need network access to an NTP server.
You can use a public server, or set up your own server. Most modern operation systems (such as Microsoft
®
Windows and Linux) can be configured to operate as an NTP server. If the NTP server is on a different sub-network, you may need to configure routing rules to allow the device to reach the NTP server. Use the “Ping” command
Save Changes and Activate
Select this checkbox to automatically set the time and date in the device from an external NTP server. You will also need to enter the IP address of the NTP server in the NTP Server IP field.
Enter the IP address of the NTP server if you selected the checkbox to Enable NTP.
Use this field to set the time manually if there is no access to an NTP server. Click
Pick
to display a date and time selection pop-up. Select the day, month, year and hour, minute and second, and click
Pick
again to set the time and close the pop-up. To set the time more precisely, try selecting a time a little in the future and waiting until that time to click
Pick
.
After configuring settings, click
Save changes and activate
.
For manual time, clicking this button sets the clock with the new time.
For NTP time, after a short delay the message next to the NTP Server IP field updates to show whether the module successfully connected to the NTP server. If the message is “Not
Connected,” check that the NTP server is configured correctly, and use the Ping command on the Network Diagnostics page to check that the module can reach the NTP server. After connecting to the NTP server, the displayed time changes to match the NTP server. This is normally
UTC time.
