System

There are five items within the System section: Time Zone, Firmware Upgrade,
Backup/Restore, Restart, User Management, Mail Alert, Syslog and Diagnostics Tools.

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 most current time from an SNTP server outside your network.
Choose your local time zone from the drop down menu. To apply the selected 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 drop-down list, simply enter its IP address in
their appropriate blanks provided as shown above. Your ISP may also provide an SNTP server
for you to use.

Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval 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. The default value is set at

1440 minutes.

Click Apply to confirm the settings.
