Knowledge Base / Frequently Asked Questions / Room Alert
If you can’t allow your Room Alert Monitor to access a time server through the Internet, and you don’t have one available on your network, you may configure a system running Windows (XP and above) or Windows Server (2003 and above) as a time server. The Room Alert Monitor can then use this system to obtain the date and time.
You’ll use the Windows Time service, which is in the system’s Service list.
– The application executable is ‘w32time.exe’.
– You may find the w32time parameter list in the Windows Registry at this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time
Make the following Registry changes in the Windows Registry. Be aware, however, that serious problems could occur if you modify the registry incorrectly; these problems could require you to reinstall your operating system. Modify the Registry at your own risk!
