• A Zone Controller. Date/time is transmitted over DALI.
• An NTP server. Date/time transmitted over ethernet. The eHub must be configured with the IP address of the NTP server.
• An NTP broadcast. Date/time is transmitted over ethernet by any computer that can run the windows service. The eHub needs only to be set up to use NTP broadcast.
