Basic Settings - Time and Date

Time Setup: The LinkStation time must be set
to maintain proper logs and to schedule proper
backups Input the proper time and date or
press the Get Current Date & Time button to
set LinkStation’s time to the same time as the
PC that is being used to configure it. Check
the Daylight Savings Time checkbox if your
region is currently in DST. This will have to be
unchecked in the fall and checked again in the
spring each year. Select the appropriate region
from the Character Codes pull down menu.
This activates LinkStation’s International
Character Support.

NTP Settings: The NTP function enables the LinkStation to poll a network time server to correct its
time. Once enabled, an IP Address of a NTP Server is required. A domain name will not work in
this field; an IP Address is required. Buffalo recommends use of (time.nist.gov) 192.43.244.18 as
an Internet NTP Server. The Sychronized Interval is the setting that states how often the check
takes place.
The Apply buttons set the settings for their respective sections.
