Table 13 SYSTEM > Time Setting
LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Current Time | This field displays the time of your ZyXEL Device. |
| Each time you reload this page, the ZyXEL Device synchronizes the time with |
| the time server (if configured). |
|
|
Current Date | This field displays the last updated date from the time server. |
|
|
Manual | Select this radio button to enter the time and date manually. If you configure a |
| new time and date, time zone and daylight saving at the same time, the time |
| zone and daylight saving will affect the new time and date you entered. |
|
|
New Time (hh:mm:ss) | This field displays the last updated time from the time server or the last time |
| configured manually. |
| When you set Time and Date Setup to Manual, enter the new time in this |
| field and then click Apply. |
|
|
New Date (yyyy:mm:dd) | This field displays the last updated date from the time server or the last date |
| configured manually. |
| When you set Time and Date Setup to Manual, enter the new date in this |
| field and then click Apply. |
|
|
Get from Time Server | Select this radio button to have the ZyXEL Device get the time and date from |
| the time server you specify below. |
|
|
Auto | Select this to have the ZyXEL Device use the predefined list of time servers. |
|
|
User Defined Time | Enter the IP address or URL of your time server. Check with your ISP/network |
Server Address | administrator if you are unsure of this information. |
|
|
Time Zone | Choose the time zone of your location. This will set the time difference |
| between your time zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). |
|
|
Daylight Savings | Select this option if you use daylight savings time. 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. |
|
|
Start Date | Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time starts if you selected |
| Yes in the Daylight Saving field. The hr 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 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 Mar., Last, Sun. The time you type in the hr field depends |
| on your time zone. In Germany for instance, you would type 02 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 selected |
| Yes in the Daylight Saving field. The hr field uses the 24 hour format. Here |
| are a couple of examples: |
| Daylight Saving Time ends in the United States on the first Sunday of |
| November. 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 Oct., Last, Sun. The time you type in the hr field |
| depends on your time zone. In Germany for instance, you would type 02 |
| because Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1). |
