‘Remember this password for the session’ checkbox to eliminate typing the password for each

configuration change.

WinDiscovery will not remember or store the password (s) after the session is closed. It is important

for the user/system administrator to maintain passwords in a safe place.

If you enter the wrong password and selected the “remember password” checkbox, you will receive

an error upon selecting OK or Apply to any configuration changes. You can close the

WinDiscovery session to “forget” the password(s), however this will require entering the password

again for each device. Alternately, you can remove the incorrect password entry during a

WinDiscovery session by going to the right click menu for the device and selecting Forget

memorized password option. This option will be added to the right click list and will only be

displayed if a password is memorized.

[Note: the factory default password is: “public”]

[Hint: To remove password protection for a clock, select the Set Password command. You will be

prompted to enter the old password. Enter the old password. Do not enter anything into the New

Password or Confirm Password fields. Click OK to save. Upon you next session, you will not be

prompted for a password for the clock.]

Set Time

The Set Time right click menu item is a special advanced feature designed to allow the user to

manually set the time and date for the clock for use in the absence of an NTP time server.

[Important Note: DO NOT use this method for network clocks that will have access to an NTP time

server. This clock will self adjust to the UTC time reference provided by the NTP time server, plus

any Time Zone and DST offset settings that have been configured. To configure the time displayed

on the face of the clock , refer to the previous sections for configuring the IP address, NTP time

server(s), Time Zone, and DST settings.]

The time can either be set to the time of the PC running WinDiscovery or a manual time and date

may be entered. The function may be most useful for lab situations as the clocks keep time via their

internal precision oscillator when NTP is not present.
