NTP:
NTP is used to sync the network time with a time server on the internet based on
the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Once the user has selected one of the built in
time servers or entered a manual time server and selected the correct time zone
click the <apply> button to update. The switch will now sync with the selected
time server. However this synchronisation does not occur periodically if the time
does become out of sync for some unknown reason the administrator will
manually have to click the apply button again to re-sync with the time server.
The Time Zone is an offset time of the GMT. The switch supports a configurable
time zone from -12 to +13 hours in increments of 1 hour.
Default: +8 hours
Daylight Savings:
Daylight Savings can be configured from -5 ~ +5 hours in increments of 1 hour. If
your location has adopted daylight savings please enter the appropriate value in
the daylight savings drop down box. If your area does have daylight savings you
will need to enter a starting and ending date of the daylight savings period. Once
the date passes the starting date of the daylight savings settings the switch’s
time will be adjusted by the amount of hours entered in the drop down box.
Click the <apply> button to update.
Default: 0
Default values for starting and ending date:
Start: Month = 1, Day = 1, Hour = 0
End: Month = 1, Day = 1, Hour = 0
