Configure Date and Time
It is recommended that you set the local Date and Time in the ECS0016
as soon as it is configured. Features like Syslog and NFS logging use
the system time for timestamping log entries, while certificate genera-
tion depends on a correct Timestamp to check the validity period of the
certificate.
Select the 1. System: Date & Time menu option
Manually set the Year, Month, Day, Hour and Minute using the Date 2.
and Time selection boxes, then click
Apply
The gateway can synchronize its system time with a remote time server
using the Network Time Protocol (NTP). Configuring the NTP time server
ensures that the ECS0016 clock will be accurate soon after the Internet
connection is established. Also if NTP is not used, the system clock will
be reset randomly every time the ECS0016 is powered up. To set the
system time using NTP:
Select the 1. Enable NTP checkbox on the Network Time Protocol page.
Enter the IP address of the remote NTP Server and click 2. Apply.
You must now also specify your local time zone so the system clock can
show local time (and not UTP). As such, set your appropriate region/
locality in the Time Zone selection box and click
Apply.
