LABEL DESCRIPTION
Current Date/Time
System Time | This field displays the time and fate of your ZyXEL Device. |
| Each time you reload this page, the ZyXEL Device synchronizes the |
| time and date with the time server. |
|
|
NTP Time Server |
|
|
|
First ~ Fifth NTP | Select an NTP time server from the |
time server | Otherwise, select Other and enter the IP address or URL (up to 29 |
| |
| extended ASCII characters in length) of your time server. |
| Select None if you don’t want to configure the time server. |
| Check with your ISP/network administrator if you are unsure of this |
| information. |
|
|
Time zone offset | Choose the time zone of your location. This will set the time difference |
| between your time zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). |
|
|
Daylight Saving | Daylight Saving Time 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 use Daylight Saving Time. |
|
|
Start rule: | Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time starts if you |
| enabled Daylight Saving. You can select a specific date in a particular |
| month or a specific day of a specific week in a particular month. The |
| Time 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, set the day to Second, Sunday, the month to March and the |
| time to 2 in the Hour 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 set the day to Last, Sunday and the |
| month to March. The time you select in the o'clock field depends on |
| your time zone. In Germany for instance, you would select 2 in the |
| Hour field because Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or |
| UTC (GMT+1). |
