3.2.6.2 Date and Time



2N® Indoor Compact is equipped with a real time clock without backup for power outages. Select Use time from Internet to synchronize 2N® Indoor Compact time with the internet time or click Synchronize with browser to synchronize the intercom time with your current PC time. 

Note

  • A correct date/time value is unnecessary for the basic function of 2N® Indoor Compact, but crucial for a proper function of time profiles and correct event times in variable lists (Syslog, Entered cards, Logs downloaded via HTTP API, etc.).

The device time error can be up to ±2 minutes per month under normal operation conditions. To maximize the accuracy and reliability, we recommend that you always enable the Use time from Internet function.
