Figure 48: Restart confirmation message

Note: To continue configuring the unit, click the link in the message and log into the

configuration utility again.

Note: If you do not reset the unit at this time, the time setting is partially implemented.

The next time the unit is reset, the time change is fully implemented.

Configuring Automatic Time Setting

The default configuration includes a number of internet time servers to which the MVG 400

can connect in order to check the time. The unit automatically attempts to connect to a time

server at specified intervals. Each time it attempts to connect, it begins with the first server

listed. If it fails to connect to that server, it tries the next on the list, and so on. If you wish,

you can replace any or all of the time servers on the list with other time servers, or add

additional time servers, to a maximum of ten servers.

NOTE: If the MVG 400 unit is not connected to the internet most or all of the time, and no

alternative local time server is available, this feature cannot be used to keep the

unit time set accurately.

To enable or disable automatic date and time setting:

1. In the Date & Time Settings screen, under Update Frequency, select the interval

between time checks, in hours. To disable automatic time setting, select Disabled.

2. Click Update, and then save the settings. They will be implemented after the unit is

restarted (see Saving Configuration Changes, page 139).

To specify other time servers:

1. In the Date & Time Settings screen, under Time Servers, add the IP addresses or

hostnames of additional time servers to the list, or replace existing IP addresses or

hostnames with those of the time servers you want to use, as required.
