Dear list, >I got "Access denied" It seems to be a document that's enabled for employees only. It describes a hack how to sync an I/A Series System with an external NTP time server, but it's not tested, not supported and not officially documented (which the help document clearly states). The officially supported way is to apply the GPS Timesync package, described in B0700AQ<https://support.ips.invensys.com/content/documents/iaseries/b0700/b0700aq_h.pdf>. If you insist of trying a NTP timesync feature with I/A Series, let your Invensys service engineer search for "FAQ670" on the GCS website in the search bar. He also then would have to take the responsibility of what you're doing. ;-) Best regards / mit freundlichen Grüßen Marcel Sieling Technical Sales Consultant Invensys Systems GmbH -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Im Auftrag von Brown, Stanley Gesendet: Montag, 25.
