System Configure Page
Figure B.27 illustrates the System configuration page for the NTP/PTP Server. It includes configuring for
HTTP or HTTPS (see next section), enabling session time outs for the web interface and console, responding
to ping requests and setting your time zone. Time zone setting only changes the time as it is read on the
clock display. Just as the receiving device must convert the NTP/PTP time as it arrives at the device to
local time zone, so the clock can display local time.
