Chapter 50 System

50.3 Date and Time

For effective scheduling and logging, the ZyWALL system time must be accurate. The ZyWALL’s Real Time Chip (RTC) 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.

To change your ZyWALL’s time based on your local time zone and date, click Configuration > System > Date/Time. The screen displays as shown. You can manually set the ZyWALL’s time and date or have the ZyWALL get the date and time from a time server.
