3.6.3.3 System

There are six items within the System section: Time Zone, Remote Access, Firmware Upgrade, Backup/Restore, Restart and User Management.

3.6.3.3.1 Time Zone

The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose your local time zone, click Enable and click the Apply button. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router retrieves the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified. If you prefer to specify an SNTP server other than those in the drop- down list, simply enter its IP address as shown above. Your ISP may provide an SNTP server for you to use.

Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval the router waits before it resynchronizes the router’s time with that of the specified SNTP server. To avoid unnecessarily increasing the load on your specified SNTP server you should keep the poll interval as high as possible at the absolute minimum every few hours or even days.

3.6.3.3.2 Remote Access

To temporarily permit remote administration of the router (i.e. from outside your LAN), select a time period the router permits remote access for and click Enable. You may change other configuration options for the web administration interface using Device Management options in the Advanced section of the GUI.
