Protocol

 

 

 

NTP Server

Select a pre-designated time server or type the IP address of your time

 

server. The Switch searches for the timeserver for up to 60 seconds.

 

 

Time Zone

Select the time difference between UTC (Universal Time Coordinated,

 

formerly known as GMT, Greenwich Mean Time) and your time zone from

 

the drop-down list box.

 

 

Daylight Saving Settings

Daylight saving is a period from late spring to early fall when many countries set their clocks ahead of normal local time by one hour to give more daytime light in the evening.

State

Select Enable if you want to use Daylight Saving Time. Otherwise,

 

select Disable to turn it off.

 

 

Start Date

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

 

enabled Daylight Saving Time. The time is displayed in 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 2:00.

 

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 and the last

 

field depends on your time zone. In Germany for instance, you would

 

select 2:00 because Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or

 

UTC (GMT+1).

 

 

End Date

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

 

enabled Daylight Saving Time. The time field uses the 24 hour format.

 

Here are a couple of examples:

 

Daylight Saving Time ends in the United States on the last Sunday of

 

October. Each time zone in the United States stops using Daylight Saving

 

Time at 2 A.M. local time. So in the United States you would select First,

 

Sunday, November and 2:00.

 

Daylight Saving Time ends in the European Union on the last Sunday of

 

October. All of the time zones in the European Union stop using Daylight

 

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

 

European Union you would select Last, Sunday, October and the last

 

field depends on your time zone. In Germany for instance, you would

 

select 2:00 because Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or

 

UTC (GMT+1).
