2-1.3 NTP
NTP is Network Time Protocol and is used to sync the network time based Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT). If use the NTP mode and select a built-in NTP time server or manually specify an
user-defined NTP server as well as Time Zone, the switch will sync the time in a short after
pressing <Apply> button. Though it synchronizes the time automatically, NTP does not update
the time periodically without user’s processing.
Time Zone is an offset time off GMT. You have to select the time zone first and then perform
time sync via NTP because the switch 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 switch
supports configurable time zone from –12 to +13 step 1 hour.
Default Time zone: +8 Hrs.
Web Interface

used as a shorthand way of representing multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous zeros; but it
