Quick Settings

The Quick Settings section includes the most common settings required by administrators to maintain and

control a Moxa PowerTrans Series switch.

System Time

The Moxa switch has a time calibration function based on information from an NTP server or user specified time

and date. Functions such as automatic warning emails can therefore include time and date stamp.

NOTE

The Moxa switch does not have a real time clock. The user must update the Current Time and Current Date

to set the initial time for the Moxa switch after each reboot, especially when there is no NTP server on the LAN

or Internet connection.

Current Time

Setting Description Factory Default

User-specified time Allows configuration of the local time in local 24-hour format. None

Current Date

Setting Description Factory Default

User-specified date Allows configuration of the local date in yyyy-mm-dd format. None

Time Server IP/Name

Setting Description Factory Default

IP address or name of

time server

The IP or domain address (e.g., 192.168.1.1,

time.stdtime.gov.tw, or time.nist.gov).

None

IP address or name of

secondary time server

The Moxa switch will try to locate the secondary NTP server if

the first NTP server fails to connect.

Time Protocol

Setting Description Factory Default

Disable Disables SNTP/NTP server functionality for clients -

NTP NTP (Network Time Protocol) is used to synchronize time with

multiple time servers. The time accuracy is up to 50 ms.

SNTP SNTP stands for (Simple Network Time Protocol). The

synchronization process of SNTP is simpler than NTP. The time

accuracy is up to 1 second, which is suitable for low time

accuracy requirements.
