1Select the Base Date and Base Time. The Router will use these settings if it is unable to connect to the Internet or SNTP Server.
2To enable SNTP, check the Using Time Server (NTP) check box.
3Select a time zone from the Set Time Zone drop down list.
4Enter the interval, in hours, at which to want the Router to resynchonize with the SNTP Server, at the Synchonization Interval text box. The default is every 24 hours.
