Subject: [foxboro] How to keep accurate time

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
