Timestamp Background

During bootup, to provide better log information and to support improved troubleshooting, a Netopia Gateway acquires the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Uni- versal Coordinated Time (UTC) reference signal, and then adjusts it for your local time zone.

Once per hour, the Gateway attempts to re-acquire the NIST reference, for re-synchroniza- tion or initial acquisition of the UTC information. Once acquired, all subsequent log entries display this date and time information. UTC provides the equivalent of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) information.

If the WAN connection is not enabled (or NTP has been disabled), the internal clocking function of the Gateway provides log timestamps based on “uptime” of the unit.
