an abuse of their service to force an update too often, but they will allow forced updates every
thirty days.
3.4.4. Time Server
The ST-EG100-E can connect daily to a Time Server on the Internet to synchronize the M1’s or
EZ8’s clock. This keeps the control’s clock to within a second of universal standard time. To
enable this feature, click the Time Server tab on the M1XEP Setup window in ElkRP2. If you
don’t already have or know of a time server to use, click the link provided or go to
http://www.ntp.org/s2 to find a time server. Please observe the following rules while doing this:
1. Choose only a “Stratum-2” server. They are intended for public use. “Stratum-1” servers are
reserved for use by governments, large institutions, and stratum-2 servers. Synchronizing to a
stratum-2 server will be accurate to within a few milliseconds – more than enough for the
M1/EZ8.
2. Select a time server that is geographically close to you. Doing so will ensure that no one
server is over taxed with requests.
3. If the server you choose lists any restrictions, please observe them. Some restrict use to
certain organizations. Others may simply want to be notified by email if you use them.
4. If using the list on the NTP.org website, be aware that the servers are listed by country first,
then state or province. Don’t mistake a country abbreviation for a state abbreviation.
5. Enter the URL or IP address of the server in the first box. Select a time of day for the
updates. Updates will be performed daily at this time. Select an “off-the-hour” time such as
2:18 AM rather than 2:00 AM. This will reduce the likelihood of a Rule being triggered
twice. If the M1/EZ8 is programmed with a Rule that is triggered at 2:00 AM, it may be
triggered twice if the time update caused the control to reset its clock back a few seconds
before 2:00 AM. If you want to be notified via email when errors occur updating the time,
check the check box, and enter your email address on the Dynamic DNS tab (see Dynamic
DNS Setup on page 12). You must also fill in the necessary information on the Email tab
(see Email Notification Setup on page 9). Local time zone information is filled in
automatically from the Sunrise/Sunset settings in ElkRP2’s Automation menu. If you change
it there, you will need to SEND the ST-EG100-E setup to the control afterward. SEND the
setup to the control, then click the Test button to verify it works.
3.4.5. Advanced Filtering Content of Zone Status Reports
{ZONE_STATUS}, {ZS} - Inserts a Zone Status Report Table for all zones and zone status
types into the body of the email.
{ZONE_STATUS=filter}, {ZS=filter} – Inserts a Zone Status Report for all zones and zone
status types meeting filter criteria.
• filter is a comma separated list of filter criteria.
