3.2.4 Timeserver
The CS121 uses a timeserver to supply the correct date and time of any event in its local
logfile. If no Timeserver is set, the CS121 will not use date and time in the logfile, but a date
stamp of 1970. For the normal operation of the CS121 a timeserver is not required, but we
strongly recommend to set access to a timeserver.

The timeserver is important to synchronize the UPS logfile to the actual time. The adapter
supports up to three different timeserver IP-addresses. Both, RFC868- and SNTP- protocols
are available. Enter the IP-address of any timeserver in your LAN or in the internet. In the
internet you will find many timeservers supporting RFC 868 TCP requests, e.g. the IP-address
of the timeserver of the National Institute of Standards and Technology is 129.6.15.29; the
timeserver of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt is 192.53.103.103.
Note: The timeserver will synchronize immediately following the reboot
(featured with Firmware 3.03 and newer). If the synchronisation fails, the
CS121 will attempt another timeserver synchronisation. Following that,
the CS121 will attempt a synchronisation with the timeserver every 24
hours.
Every Windows computer offers the by “Windows Time” a timeserver which synchronizes the
time of the PC with an internet clock. How to setup the MS-Timeservice is described below.
If you do not have any internet access in your network, you may setup a timeserver which use
the PC clock. For this you may choose any freeware from the internet or download from here:

• Test Timeserver connection: This option is testing the Timeserver connection with a time and
date stamp. Please note that the connection to the timeserver only works, when the adapter is
not in the configuration mode (IP 10.10.10.10). The CS121 should have a timeserver to
synchronize the UPS alarms with your local time. Without a timeserver the CS121 would use a
default time from 1970.
• Microsoft Windows SNTP Timeserver: As timeserver you can use any e.g. Windows PC in
your network which has access to a timeserver in the internet or a local PC clock. To use the
Microsoft Windows timeserver you have to configure and start the “Windows Time Server”
service – see screenshot in the service list:
