NPort 5600-8-DT User’s Manual General Settings
4-2
Overview
The NPort 5600-8-DT can be configured through NPort Administrator, the web console, the
Telnet console, or the serial console. For each of these configuration interfaces, parameters are
organized by type. For this chapter, screenshots from the web console are used to illustrate the
available parameters, but the same parameters can be modified using the other interfaces.
Basic Settings
Server name (default = blank): This is an optional free text field for your own use. It does not
affect operation of the NPort device server. It can be used to help differentiate one device server
from another.
ATTENTION
There is a risk of explosion if the real-time clock battery is replaced incorrectly!
The real time clock is powered by a lithium battery. We strongly recommend that you obtain
assistance from a MOXA support engineer before replacing the battery. Please contact the
MOXA RMA service team if you need to change the battery.
Time zone (default = GMT Greenwich Mean Time): This field shows the currently selected time
zone and allows you to select a different time zone.
Local time: This field shows the time that you last opened or refreshed the browser, using the
NPort’s built-in real-time clock. You can adjust the real-time clock using this field. Make sure that
you first select the correct time zone.
Time server (default = blank): This optional field is for your time server’s IP address or domain
name, if a time server is used in your network. The NPort 5600-8-DT supports SNTP (RFC-1769)
for automatic time calibration. The device server will request time information from the specified
time server every 10 minutes.
Web console (default = Enable): This field enables or disables access to the web console.
