Configuring date and time settings

Configure the date and time settings with one of three methods: automatically with
a remote NTP time server on the network, automatically with the clock on your
host computer, or manually.

Note:

Selecting Refresh refreshes the date and time.

Note:

If you choose to manually set your date and time, you must reset the date

before the library is powered ON again.
