Set Date and Time
The Digi Passport unit provides two options for keeping system time. The
first is by using an NTP server and the other is through an internal battery
backup. To configure the Digi Passport unit for date and time, do the
following:
1. Enter the IP address of the Digi Passport unit in the address bar of a
web browser to access the web interface.
2. Select System administration > Date and time.
3. To use an NTP server:
Select Enable, the NTP server’s IP address, the Time offset, and the
Date and Time fields.
To use the internal battery:
Fill in the Date and Time fields only.
If the time zone is changed, for the change to be effective, the time for
the time zone must also be reconfigured.
4. Click Save & apply.
Configure a Host Name
The system administrator can assign a Host name to the Digi Passport
unit. This is often helpful for administration purposes to locate a specific
Digi Passport unit on the network. To assign the Digi Passport unit a device
name, do the following:
1. Enter the IP address of the Digi Passport unit in the address bar of a
web browser to access the web interface.
2. Select System administration > Device name.
3. Enter the name of the Digi Passport unit.
4. Click Save & apply.
