By default, your Room Alert Monitor obtains the time and date from an Internet NTP time server at IP address 198.82.1.201.<\/p>\n

If you wish, you may configure your Room Alert Monitor to obtain the date and time from an NTP time server on your local network by following these steps:<\/p>\n

1. Open your Room Alert Monitor’s web interface. You may open the interface using AVTECH’s Device ManageR or Device Discovery, or by entering the unit’s IP address directly into the address bar of your browser.<\/p>\n

2. Select Settings<\/strong> at the top of the screen.<\/p>\n

3. Select Advanced<\/strong> in the navigation bar to the left.<\/p>\n

4. In the Time & Date Configuration\u00a0<\/em>section, enter the IP address of your time server in the Time Server IP<\/em> field.<\/p>\n

5. Select Accept Changes<\/strong> at the bottom of the page to temporarily save your settings.<\/p>\n

6. Then select Save Settings<\/strong> in the navigation bar to the left.<\/p>\n

7. Your unit will reboot with the new setting and attempt to obtain the time and date from the new IP address.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to configure a Windows system or Windows server as a Network Time Server, please see this FAQ: How To Configure A Windows Or Windows Server System As A Network Time Server (NTP)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Timeserver requests are sent from the Room Alert Monitor on UDP port 123; this port must be unblocked on your network to allow the Room Alert Monitor to synch properly.<\/p>\n

You may configure other settings in the\u00a0Time and Date Configuration<\/em>\u00a0section of the Advanced Settings<\/em>\u00a0page as well:<\/p>\n
