- Displays the time currently maintained by the router. If this is not correct, use the following options to configure the time correctly.
- Time Zone
- Select your local time zone from pull down menu.
- Automatic Time Configuration
- Enable NTP Server
- Select this option if you want to synchronize the router's clock 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. Note that, even when NTP Server is enabled, you must still choose a time zone and set the daylight saving parameters.
- NTP Server Used
- Select a Network Time Server for synchronization. You can type in the address of a time server or select one from the list. If you have trouble using one server, select another.
- Set the Date and Time Manually
- If you do not have the NTP Server option in effect, you can either manually set the time for your router here.
