System time 31
Set system time
This section displays the current system time. You can configure the time manually or have it
automatically configured by a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
Manually
Select the date, time (in 24-hour notation), and timezone.
Using network time protocol (NTP)
NTP servers transmit Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, also known as Greenwich Mean Time)
to their client systems. NTP sends periodic time requests to servers, using the returned time
stamp to adjust its clock. The timestamp is used to indicate the date and time of each event in
log messages.
When you select this option, a field displays for you to specify the NTP server. You can specify
the NTP hostname or IP address, although using the IP address is not recommended, as these
are more likely to change. If you specify a hostname, note the following requirements:
• The length must be from 1 to 63 characters.
• Upper and lower case characters, numbers, and hyphens are accepted.
• The first character must be a letter (a to z or A to Z), and the last character cannot be a
hyphen.
A actual NTP server host name, pool.ntp.org, is configured by default and will provide the
time when the AP is connected to the Internet.
Daylight savings
Use this section to enable support for daylight savings time, if required for your location. When
you select Adjust time for daylight savings, additional fields display to enable you to
configure the starting and ending dates and times, and the DST offset.
The DST offset specifies how many minutes to move the clock forward or backward.
