VPort 2140 User’s Manual System Configuration
4-3
System
Host name
The host name will appear as the homepage title of the main page and over the video window on
the main page. The maximum string length is 38 characters or 19 characters in
double-byte-character systems, such as Chinese or Japanese systems.
Date and Time
The default setting for Date and Time is Keep current date and time. You may also choose from
one of the following date and time configuration options:
1. The easiest way to adjust the date and time is to make the VPort Sync with computer time.
2. Select the Manual option if you wish to set the date and time manually by entering new
settings.
3. Select the Automatic option to make the VPort synchronize automatically with timeservers
over the Internet every month. However, synchronization may fail if the assigned NTP server
cannot be reached, or the VPort is connected to a local network. Leaving the NTP server
blank will force the VPort connect to default timeservers. Enter either the Domain name or IP
address format of the timeserver as long as the DNS server is available. Do not forget to set
the Time zone for local settings. Refer to Appendix G for your region’s time zone.
