DESCRIPTION

 

 

End Date

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

 

 

 

selected Enable Daylight Saving. The o'clock 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 Last,

 

 

 

Sunday, October. 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).

7.5 Technical Reference

This section provides some technical information about the topics covered in this chapter.

7.5.1 Administrator Authentication on RADIUS

The administrator authentication on RADIUS feature lets a (external or internal) RADIUS server authenticate management logins to the NWA. This is useful if you need to regularly change a password that you use to manage several NWAs.

Activate administrator authentication on RADIUS in the System > Password screen and configure the same user name, password and RADIUS server information on each NWA. Then, whenever you want to change the password, just change it on the RADIUS server.

7.5.2 Pre-defined NTP Time Servers List

When you turn on the NWA for the first time, the date and time start at 2000-01- 01 00:00:00. When you select Auto in the System > Time Setting screen, the NWA then attempts to synchronize with one of the following pre-defined list of NTP time servers.
