Instruction Manual
Configure Date and Time
It is recommended that you set the local Date and Time in the ECS0016 as soon as it is configured. Features like Syslog and NFS logging use the system time for timestamping log entries, while certificate genera- tion depends on a correct Timestamp to check the validity period of the certificate.
1.Select the System: Date & Time menu option
2.Manually set the Year, Month, Day, Hour and Minute using the Date and Time selection boxes, then click Apply
The gateway can synchronize its system time with a remote time server using the Network Time Protocol (NTP). Configuring the NTP time server ensures that the ECS0016 clock will be accurate soon after the Internet connection is established. Also if NTP is not used, the system clock will be reset randomly every time the ECS0016 is powered up. To set the system time using NTP:
1.Select the Enable NTP checkbox on the Network Time Protocol page.
2.Enter the IP address of the remote NTP Server and click Apply.
You must now also specify your local time zone so the system clock can show local time (and not UTP). As such, set your appropriate region/ locality in the Time Zone selection box and click Apply.
