In rare cases, the individual disciplines in Siveillance Control are not time-synchronized. You have to manually synchronize them to ensure that correct times are used throughout the alarm chain. You can set the time by using NTP.

  • The time has been set precisely, since the time difference between the system and the NTP server must be less than one minute apart.
