***************************************************************************

It is assumed that the user of this application is familiar with the operation and configuration of the Series II Network Clock.
Specifically, it is assumed the user has knowledge of configuring the clock using WinDiscovery. This includes viewing the status of the network clock and
the current state of its configuration. If you are not familiar with the network clock operation and WinDiscovery, please consult your user manual.


Before updating the firmware of the network clocks it is assumed that the following is true.

Assumptions:

If these assumptions are not true, then before proceeding with an update, seek assistance from a network administrator to set up a clock (or several clocks) to be updated on a small local area network using the WinDiscovery application tool to enter the NTP server address.Refer to the network clock user manual section regarding "Configuration using WinDiscovery" for additional details.
