3.3.2 TOOLS - Time

The Time Configuration option allows you to configure, update, and maintain the correct time on the router's internal system clock. From this section you can set the time zone that you are in and set the Time Server. Daylight saving can also be configured to automatically adjust the time when needed.

TIME ADJUSTMENT

Time Zone:

Select your local time zone from pull down menu.

•Daylight Saving Enable:

Check this option if your location observes daylight saving time.

•Daylight Saving Offset:

Select the time offset, if your location observes daylight saving time.

•DST Start and DST End:

Select the starting and ending times for the change to and from daylight saving time. For example, suppose for DST Start you select Month="Oct", Week="3rd", Day="Sun" and Time="2am". This is the same as saying: "Daylight saving starts on the third Sunday of October at 2:00 AM."

AUTOMATIC TIME SETTING

Enable NTP Server:

Select this option if you want the router's clock synchronized to a Network Time Server over the Internet. If you are using schedules or logs, this is the best way to ensure that the schedules and logs are kept accurate.
