System time

By default, the AnywhereUSB Plus device synchronizes the system time by periodically connecting to the Digi NTP server, time.devicecloud.com. In this mode, the device queries the time server based on following events and schedule:

The default configuration has the system time zone set to UTC. No additional configuration is required for the system time if the default configuration is sufficient. However, you can change the default time zone and the default NTP server, as well as configuring additional NTP servers. If multiple servers are configured, a number of time samples are obtained from each of the servers and a subset of the NTP clock filter and selection algorithms are applied to select the best of these. See Configure the system time for details about changing the default configuration.

The AnywhereUSB Plus device can also be configured to serve as an NTP server, providing NTP services to downstream devices. See Network Time Protocol for more information about NTP server support.

You can also set the local date and time manually, if there is no access to NTP servers. See Manually set the system date and time for information
