Time
Zone
:
It is an offset time off GMT. You have to select the time zone first and then
perform time sync via NTP because the router will combine this time zone offset and
updated NTP time to come out the local time, otherwise, you will not able to get the correct
time. The router supports configurable time zone from –11 to +12 step 1 hour. Default
Time zone: -11 Hrs.
NTP Sever:
NTP is Network Time Protocol and is used to sync the network time based
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). If you manually specify an IP address of user-defined NTP
server as well as Time Zone, the router will sync the time immediately after pressing the
Apply
button.
NTP Synchronization (hours
)
:
Though it synchronizes the time automatically, NTP does
not update the time periodically without user’s processing. You can set up the time interval
(Valid range: 1 ~ 300 hours) to have the assigned NTP server do the synchronization of
time for your router.
