Changing the NTP server:
• Change the NTP settings in the Setup time dialog.
• EITHER switch of the previously configured NTP server.
• THEN wait until the H
YDRA modules loose there synchronization. (You see this when the NTP alarm of the
modules becomes active)
• THEN within about 5 minutes after the alarms appeared, apply the command Reset software (Wall), see
section
5.2.5 Wall Control.
• OR apply the command Reboot wall, see section
5.2.5 Wall Control.
Changing the synchronization type of a wall from LTC/VITC to NTP synchronization:
• Change the synchronization settings in the Setup time dialog to NTP synchronization
• Apply the command Reboot wall, see section
5.2.5 Wall Control.
Time Setup – Wall – NTP Date
With the sync mode NTP Date also an external NTP server is used to get the current time, but the synchroniza-
tion itself is not driven by an NTP daemon. Instead the H
YDRA modules selected in the Modules list are actively
asking after each time interval (as specified in Refresh (s)) the NTP server indicated with IP address for the
current time. Only the H
YDRA modules selected in the Modules list are synchronized. There is no internal synchro-
nization of the modules between each other.
With the NTP Date mode, synchronization loops are not taking place as often as expedient. There-
fore we recommend using the NTP mode instead. This enables to accurately synchronize to a re-
mote NTP server.
