System Configuration

Date and Time

The default setting for Date and Time is Keep current date and time. You may also choose from
one of the following date and time configuration options:

1. The easiest way to adjust the date and time is to make the VPort Sync with computer time.

2. Select

the

Manual option if you wish to set the date and time manually by entering new

settings.

3. Select

the Automatic option to make the VPort synchronize automatically with timeservers

over the Internet every month. However, synchronization may fail if the assigned NTP
server
cannot be reached, or the VPort is connected to a local network. Leaving the NTP
server
blank will force the VPort connect to default timeservers. Enter either the Domain
name or IP address format of the timeserver as long as the DNS server is available. Do not
forget to set the Time zone for local settings. Refer to Appendix G for your region’s time
zone.

Click on Save to validate changes.

Root password

To change the administrator’s password, type the new password in both the Root password box
and Confirm password box. The passwords you enter will be displayed in asterisks for security
reasons. The maximum string length for a password is 14 characters. After clicking on Save to
validate the new password, a window will open to ask the administrator for the new password to
access the VPort.
