NTP
The NTP (Network Time Protocol) settings page allows you to configure the router to synchronize its internal clock with a global
Internet Time server and specify the time zone for the location of the router. This provides an accurate timekeeping function for
features such as System Log entries, Firewall settings and scheduling where the current system time is displayed, recorded and
required for particular services. Any NTP server available publicly on the internet may be used. The default NTP server is
0.netcomm.pool.ntp.org.
To access the Network time (NTP) page, click on the Services menu at the top of the screen then click on the NTP menu item on
the left.

Configuring Timezone settings
To configure time zone settings:
The Current time field shows the time and date configured on the router. If this is not accurate, use the Time zone drop
down list to select the correct time zone for the router. If the selected zone observes daylight savings time, a Daylight
savings time schedule link appears below the drop down list. Click the link to see the start and end times for daylight
savings.
When you have selected the correct time zone, click the Save button to save the settings.
Configuring the daylight saving time schedule
To configure the daylight savings time schedule:
Click the Daylight saving toggle key so that it is in the ON position.
Use the DST Start and DST End drop down lists to select the time and date at which daylight saving should start and end.
Click the Save button to save the settings.
