  • VNC session in the DMP shows time is incorrect in Windows, but has the correct time zone.
  • Unable to manually synchronize the clock in the Internet time tab for clock settings.
  • Display (AF Series display) and M-Series Bridge time off

Environment

  • Product Family: Message Displays
  • Product: GS6, M-Series Bridge
  • Components: Customer Network Time Server ports and firewall setting
  • Control System: Venus Control Suite (VCS)

Cause

  • The port used for network time (NTP) is blocked on the network or firewall.
