|
| New Time | This field displays the last updated time from the time server or the last |
|
| (hh:mm:ss) | 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 | This field displays the last updated date from the time server or the last |
|
| (yyyy/mm/dd) | 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 | Select this radio button to have the ZyXEL Device get the time and date |
|
| Server | from the time server you specified below. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Time Protocol | Select the time service protocol that your time server sends when you |
|
|
| turn on the ZyXEL Device. 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 difference between them is the format. |
|
|
| Daytime (RFC 867) format is day/month/year/time zone of the |
|
|
| server. |
|
|
| Time (RFC 868) format displays a |
|
|
| number of seconds since 1970/1/1 at 0:0:0. |
|
|
| The default, NTP (RFC 1305), is similar to Time (RFC 868). |
|
|
|
|
|
| Time Server | Enter the IP address or URL (up to 20 extended ASCII characters in |
|
| Address | length) of your time server. Check with your ISP/network administrator |
|
|
| if you are unsure of this information. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 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). |
|
|
|
|
|
| Daylight | Daylight saving is a period from late spring to early fall when many |
|
| Savings | 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 o'clock 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 o'clock |
|
|
| 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 o'clock 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). |
