User Management.
Time Zone
The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to
get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose your local time zone, click Enable and click
the Apply button. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router will retrieve the correct local time from the
SNTP server you have specified. If you prefer to specify an SNTP server other than those in the list, simply enter its
IP address as shown above. Your ISP may provide an SNTP server for you to use.
Daylight Saving is also known as Summer Time Period. Many places in the world adapt it during summer time to
move one hour of daylight from morning to the evening in local standard time. Check Automatic box to auto set
your local time.
Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval that the router will wait before it re-synchronizes the router’s
time with that of the specified SNTP server. In order to avoid unnecessarily increasing the load on your specified
SNTP server you should keep the poll interval as high as possible – at the absolute minimum every few hours or
even days.
