Configuration | System | General | Time and Date
This screen lets you set the time and date on the VPN Concentrator. Setting the correct time is very
important so that logging and accounting information is accurate.
Figure 11-3: Configuration | System | General | Time and Date screen

Current Time

The screen shows the current date and time on the VPN Concentrator at the time the screen displays. You
can refresh this by redisplaying the screen.

New Time

The values in the New Time fields are the time and date on the browser PC at the time the screen displays.
Any entries you make apply to the VPN Concentrator, however.
In the appropriate fields, make any changes. The fields are, in order: Hour : Minute : Second AM/PM
Month / Day / Year Time Zone. Click the drop-down menu buttons to select AM/PM, Month, and Time Zone.
The time zone selections are offsets in hours relative to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), which is the basis
for Internet time synchronization. Enter the Year as a four-digit number.

Enable DST Support

To enable DST support, check the box. During DST (Daylight-Saving Time), clock s are set one hour
ahead of standard time. Enabling DST support means that the VPN Conce ntrator automatically adjusts
the time zone for DST or standard time. If your system is in a time zone that uses DST, you must enable
DST support.
