Chapter 5 - Setting up the nTouch 180 unit

Setting the time and date

Introduction

For accurate reporting of events when running different MediaMatrix units, it is critical to

specify the proper time zone, time, and date settings. Correct settings will ensure that the event

logs and other time sensitive information are accurately recorded and displayed.

There is a time synchronization system that ensures that the time and date settings on NIONs,

nControl units and nTouch 180 units are the same across the control network. If you change

the date on a NION, for example, it is automatically changed on the other devices. This feature

is especially useful for debugging. If you look at an event in the log that occurred at a

particular time on one NION, you can be sure that an event with the same timestamp on a

different NION occurred at exactly the same time.

You can specify the time and date settings manually, or they can be obtained automatically

from a time server.

Tip: A time server can be set up on your local network, or you can connect to one via the

internet. For information on available internet time servers, see http://www.pool.ntp.org

(http://www.pool.ntp.org).

Synchronization modes

Mode name

Description

Normal

If you specify Normal mode for all units on the network, so no Master node is

available, when you specify time and date settings on any of the units, they

will be assigned to the others automatically.

If a unit on the network is using Time Server or Master mode, all units in

Normal mode will be assigned time and date settings from that unit – they

will act as slaves.

Master

The time and date settings from this unit will be assigned to all units that are

using Normal mode.

Time Server

This node will contact a time server to retrieve time and date settings. The

time and date settings from this unit will be assigned to all units that are using

Normal mode.

The time server can be contacted using its IP address or a domain name.

Note: When you use a domain name, it must be resolved to an IP address.

This is done automatically, but you must specify DNS or DHCP settings on

the Network screen in the web interface.
