Time Synchronization Issues

time synchronization is required for precise time resolution for time stamping collected measurements also, manufacturing connect edge uses the current time for license activation therefore, if the time is substantially off, the trial license may be considered invalid and cause the trial to end prematurely ntp (network time protocol) servers offer the easiest, most reliable, and accurate time synchronization method important if you are installing manufacturing connect edge adjust the system clock through the bios before installing manufacturing connect edge otherwise the 15 day trial period may be rejected and invalidated by the license server in the event that your license becomes invalidated, contact your manufacturing connect edge representative see iso installation on an industrial pc (ipc) docid\ tst3ly8cskcv9tee9r3nz synchronize using public ntp servers manufacturing connect edge comes pre configured with servers in the public ntp pool this requires internet access see the ntp pool project https //www pool ntp org/en/ to learn more if manufacturing connect edge is in an environment without internet access or if you want to specify your own ntp servers, you can do it using the web ui or the terminal user interface (tui), as shown below see the configure time section in access the terminal user interface docid\ qshf w5zqofde xozajrh configure ntp time servers using the tui refer to the configure time section see access the terminal user interface docid\ qshf w5zqofde xozajrh configure ntp time servers through the web interface see the ntp servers section in configure dns/ntp servers docid\ wkw9ctmstfrjlj8jwox1c synchronize using a local ntp server see configure a local ntp server docid\ jgeiwnvgao81uyaycitri
