Operating the EQ8096 Using the Web Browser
Figure 3.4 Set Unit Date / Time Web Page
The EQ8096 hardware uses a real-time clock to provide time and date functionality.
The clock values are retained in non-volatile memory.
A user parameter is provided to allow the clock to be maintained either by the
application software or by using the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP RFC-
2030) via the Ethernet Control interface.
There is a parameter for specifying the SNTP Server IP address if the clock is to be
slaved to the server.
The time is entered as a complete set of parameters (as shown in Figure 3.4). The
Time is auto-incremented once entered or it can be overwritten if a time-server is
enabled and connected.
Notes: This page does not automatically refresh itself. If the page is left displayed
the initial values in the time form remain unchanged as time passes, and will
correspond to the page update time stamp in the top right hand corner until
the operator enters new values, or uses the web page refresh button to get
the current values from the unit.
If the next action the operator performs after applying changes is to press
the browser refresh button, the browser action will be to re send the last
URL, which will be a repeat of the time change form and the unit will be set
to this time again.
The unit time and date is only used to time stamp log files and is not
transferred into the generated transport stream.
3.3.2.3 Control Port Settings
To review the Control Port settings, on the Device Info tabbed page, click Control
Port Settings to display the web page shown in Figure 3.5. The Top-Level menu
offers control for the Default Gateway (for control/management) and for specifying
ARP request interval. It also offers the option to inhibit the overwrite of the CA IP
settings after a redundancy switch.
