SNTP service

Dear All,

I see that it will be possible by the end of the year to activate a SNTP-service via the webpage to sync the time of the PLC.

Is it already possible at this moment to synchronise the RTC with a SNTP server in the linux environment and how can we get it configured?

 

Best regards,

    Hello Stijn,

    I think this worked for me during the Early Adopter phase:

    Edit the file /etc/ntp.conf to add the ntp server(s) you want to use. In my case, the ntp servers are in Ireland:

       :
    server 0.ie.pool.ntp.org
    server 1.ie.pool.ntp.org
    server 2.ie.pool.ntp.org
    server 3.ie.pool.ntp.org
       :

    I haven't tried this recently so I'd be interested to know if this works for you.

    - Martin.

    Hi Martin,

    After setting a DNS server such as 8.8.8.8 in the /etc/network/interfaces file, I got the SNTP settings that you specified up and running.

    Best regards,
