This address is listed in the predefined LTE filter table and thereforesubject to LTE filtering.N146N140/13System time (time and date) S-modeLTE filter tableNormal (route)Route allBlock allAlarms, remote time adjustments, LTE-mode(e.g. Main line 1)Primary lineSekundary line(e.g. Line 1)3127Z20enThe diagram shows the following:The system time (time and date) is always transmitted by devices on the primaryline to devices on the secondary line and vice versa Æ two-way communication.If the filter is set to "Normal (route)" in the area/line couplers and IP routers, alarmsand remote time adjustments are transmitted only from the secondary line to theprimary line Æ one-way communication.If "Route all" is set, alarms and remote time adjustments are transmitted from thesecondary line to the primary line and vice versa Æ two-way communication."Block all" means that the transmission of alarms and remote time adjustments isblocked Æ no LTE telegram communications.In a network with couplers and IP routers, only one RM… controller can function astime master (see Section 6.1.2).The time can only be adjusted remotely via a time slave if the time master islocated on the same line or on the next higher line.System timeAlarms and remote timeadjustmentTwo-way and one-waycommunicationNormal (route)Route allBlock allTime synchronization
