Unitiserve clock update
Posted by: London Lad on 27 March 2016
Hi all,
Does the US update its own time settings from a time server ? Mine didn't last night.
Mine has.
Odd. Anyone know if there is a setting to turn on auto updating?
Just thinking that I do not refer to the clock in the Unitiserve, therefore it is possible that it did not update, but was an hour fast yesterday.
OK thanks. I'm sure someone will be along with a definitive answer in a moment :-)
Mine didn't.
I cant believe there isn't an option to turn it on as its an integral part of windows os
Where is the US clock to be found?!
System/System Settings/Date and time
Are you running the latest firmware? I believe there was an update for some Naim equipment which didn't update the time automatically.
No idea about US firmware - System Status doesn't list it.

I'm pretty sure that the firmware update that sorted out daylight saving time issues was actually one of the recent streamer updates (and I think it was the UQ 2 that was the main issue).

I am running 1.7b

Me too if that is what 'overall version' means.
1.7b is the latest version. I suggest speaking directly to Naim.
I did email and the reply I got was that it should update automatically but if it hasn't then update it manually.
I don't seem to do very well emailing Naim for definitive info nowadays. I'm a bit OCD and like to have things 'right' but I seem to always get answers like 'see which sound best' nowadays.
I assume there must be a time server setting somewhere as the OS would need to know which time zone it was in.
I find myself wondering why I would care whether the clock in the US had updated or not, or even how I would know in normal use whether it had or not...,,

I have a large rack mount NAS RAID installation which amongst other thing accepts backups from a number of local PCs, some remote servers and other devices including the US. To preserve bandwidth these backups and transfers are staggered throughout the night. An accurately set clock is therefore important to me.
Ok that's a good reason! And I suppose you can't just leave everything on GMT because some of the devices will show local time because they will have updated automatically. I suspect the reason why Naim can't be specific as to whether it should have updated ir not is because with complex networks whether your US will see a time server or not depends as much on your network configuration as on the US.
It seems to me that setting aside OCD considerations, just going into the US and checking/resetting the RTC is probably the pragmatic thing to do.

Its no great guns but its supposed to do it and I'd like mine to do it too :-)
Its easy to reset twice a year but every other device on my network seem able to contact its respective time server ok.
As I said, no great guns
