Unicast Mode#

The clock is synchronized to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) from NTP server (up to four IPv4 / IPv6 addresses for NTP server configurable) and must have assigned its own IPv4 / IPv6 address. The clock requests in defined intervals the actual time from NTP server (interval can be adjusted in the NEt menu item n9 (see NTP Polling Interval chapter)). If the server is not available, the clock tries to contact other defined servers in cyclic ways until valid response from NTP server is received.

This operation mode supports monitoring and configuration of movement via network connection by means of Web Interface (enabled in the NEt menu item 15 (see Web Server chapter)), SNMP (enabled in the NEt menu item 14 by setting the value to 1 (see SNMP Protocol chapter)) or MOBA-NMS Software Tool.

For supervision and configuration with MOBA-NMS, either clock’s IPv4 / IPv6 address can be used or multicast group address (the NEt menu item n7 (see Multicast Address chapter)) must have last octet cleared to zero (presuming that the multicast is not disabled – NEt menu item 13 is not set to value 0 (see Multicast Mode for Configuration of Digital Clock chapter)).
