The device synchronizes date and time using the Network Time Protocol (NTP). By default, the NTP server advertised by the Wi-Fi® network’s DHCP server is used for synchronizing, but if the DHCP server does not advertise an NTP server, the host set at the NTP server setting will be used.

Note

The web interface loads the time from the device only when the web interface is opened. After that, the browser is updating the displayed clock and if the browser, or the web interface’s browser tab is sent to the background then the time will be updated more irregularly due to the browser’s CPU power saving mechanism. This causes the displayed M1KE device time to be incorrect, but this does not affect the M1KE’s clock, it will stay correct. Reload the web interface to make the displayed device time accurate again.

Note

The device’s timezone setting is automatically synchronized with the browser’s timezone setting when the web interface is opened.
