Get from Time

Select this radio button to have the ZyWALL get the time and date

Server

from the time server you specify below. The ZyWALL requests time

 

and date settings from the time server under the following

 

circumstances.

 

• When the ZyWALL starts up.

 

• When you click Apply or Synchronize Now in this screen.

 

• 24-hour intervals after starting up.

 

 

Time Server

Enter the IP address or URL of your time server. Check with your ISP/

Address

network administrator if you are unsure of this information.

 

 

Sync. Now

Click this button to have the ZyWALL get the time and date from a

 

time server (see the Time Server Address field). This also saves

 

your changes (except the daylight saving settings).

 

 

Time Zone Setup

 

 

 

Time Zone

Choose the time zone of your location. This will set the time difference

 

between your time zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

 

 

Enable Daylight

Daylight saving is a period from late spring to early fall when many

Saving

countries set their clocks ahead of normal local time by one hour to

 

give more daytime light in the evening.

 

Select this option if you use Daylight Saving Time.

 

 

Start Date

Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time starts if you

 

selected Enable Daylight Saving. The at field uses the 24 hour

 

format. Here are a couple of examples:

 

Daylight Saving Time starts in most parts of the United States on the

 

second Sunday of March. Each time zone in the United States starts

 

using Daylight Saving Time at 2 A.M. local time. So in the United

 

States you would select Second, Sunday, March and type 2 in the at

 

field.

 

Daylight Saving Time starts in the European Union on the last Sunday

 

of March. All of the time zones in the European Union start using

 

Daylight Saving Time at the same moment (1 A.M. GMT or UTC). So in

 

the European Union you would select Last, Sunday, March. The time

 

you type in the at field depends on your time zone. In Germany for

 

instance, you would type 2 because Germany's time zone is one hour

 

ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1).
