The RG231 uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to set its
internal clock based on periodic updates from a time server. Maintaining an
accurate time on the device enables the system log to record meaningful
dates and times for event entries.
SNTP uses Coordinated Universal Time (or UTC, formerly Greenwich Mean
Time, or GMT) based on the time at the Earth’s prime meridian, zero
degrees longitude. To display a time corresponding to your local time, you
must select your time zone.

manually. (Default: Disabled)
