ZyAIR B-2000 Wireless LAN Gateway with 4-Port Switch

11.2 Time and Date Setting

The ZyAIR keeps track of the time and date. There is also a software mechanism to set the time manually or get the current time and date from an external server when you turn on your ZyAIR. Menu 24.10 allows you to update the time and date settings of your ZyAIR. The real time is then displayed in the ZyAIR error logs and firewall logs.

Step 1. Select menu 24 in the main menu to open Menu 24 – System Maintenance.

Step 2. Then enter 10 to go to Menu 24.10 – System Maintenance – Time and Date Setting to update the time and date settings of your ZyAIR as shown in the following screen.

FIELD

DESCRIPTION

 

 

Use Time Server

Enter the time service protocol that your time server sends when you turn on the

when Bootup

ZyAIR. Not all time servers support all protocols, so you may have to check with

 

your ISP/network administrator or use trial and error to find a protocol that works.

 

The main differences between them are the format.

 

Daytime (RFC 867) format is day/month/year/time zone of the server.

 

Time (RFC-868)format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total number of

 

seconds since 1970/1/1 at 0:0:0.

 

NTP (RFC-1305) is similar to Time (RFC-868).

 

None. The default, enter the time manually.
