ConnectPort X2 UTC time problem

Question

Hi all,

I've been using the ConnectPort X2 for over a year now and in my application I use my python script to get the local system time. The system time is set as an offset to the UTC/GMT time. In the last two weeks, two of my CPs started showing Jan 1 1970 as the date and I can't figure out what exactly is causing it. When I compare the time tabs under the advanced configuration properties of a correct time CP and an incorrect time CP they are the same. However, the device statistics tab displays the date and time incorrectly and says that it is based on the uptime, instead of based on the UTC as it does for the working CP.

Has anyone run into this issue and know of a possible solution?

Thanks for the help,
Nick

Answer 1

Has the time been set manually on the unit?

This can be configured from the web interface under System > Set Date and Time Settings > [Set] Manually set the date and time.
