Incorrect Date or Time

The modem router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time from one of several network time servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is stamped with the date and time of day. Problems with the date and time function can include the following:

•Date shown is January 1, 2003. This means the modem router has not yet reached a network time server. Check that your Internet access is configured correctly. If you have just finished setting up the modem router, wait at least five minutes, and check the date and time again.

•Time is off by one hour. The modem router has an automatic daylight saving time setting.

To change the modem router setting for daylight saving time:

1. Select Security > Schedule.

2. Select the Automatically adjust for daylight savings time check box.

3. Click the Apply button. Your changes are saved.

TCP/IP Network Not Responding

Most TCP/IP terminal devices and routers have a ping utility for sending an echo request packet to the designated device. The device responds with an echo reply to tell whether a TCP/IP network is responding to requests.
