Time & date configuration
This page allows you to configure all aspects relating to time and date within the
LINDY KVM IP unit.
Time and Date
Use the arrow buttons to set the correct current time.
Use NTP
When this option is selected, the LINDY KVM IP will synchronise its internal
clocks using information from the (Network Time Protocol) server listed in the
NTP Server IP address field.
NTP Server IP address
Optionally enter the IP address for a known Network Time Protocol server.
Set Time from NTP Server
Click to immediately use the time and date information from the listed NTP server.
Timezone specifier
Optionally enter a recognised timezone specifier related to the current position
of the LINDY KVM IP unit. When an NTP server is used, the specifier will be used
to provide the correct real time.
The timezone specifier takes the following form:
std offset dst [offset],start[/time],end[/time]
The std and offset specify the standard time zone, such as GMT and 0, or
CET and -1, or EST and 5, respectively.
The dst string and [offset] specify the name and offset for the
corresponding Daylight Saving Time zone; if the offset is omitted, it defaults
to one hour ahead of standard time.
The remainder of the specification describes when Daylight Saving Time is
in effect. The start field is when Daylight Saving Time goes into effect and
the end field is when the change is made back to standard time. The most
common format used for the daylight saving time is: Mm.w.d
Where: m specifies the month and must be between 1 and 12. The day d
must be between 0 (Sunday) and 6. The week w must be between 1 and
5; week 1 is the first week in which day d occurs, and week 5 specifies the
last d day in the month.
The time fields specify when, in the local time currently in effect, the change
to the other time occurs. If omitted, the default is 02:00:00.
Typical examples are:
UK: GMT0BST,M3.5.0/1,M10.5.0/2
Central Europe: CET-1CEST,M3.5.0/2,M10.5.0/3
US Eastern (2006): EST5EDT,M4.1.0/2,M10.5.0/2
US Pacific (2006): PST8PDT,M4.1.0/2,M10.5.0/2
US Eastern (from 2007): EST5EDT,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2
US Pacific (from 2007): PST5PDT,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2
