VoIP/802.11g ADSL2+ VPN Firewall Router
Chapter 4:Configuration
System
There are six items within the
System
section:
Time Zone, Remote Access, Firmware Upgrade,
Backup/Restore, Restart
and
User Management.
Time Zone
The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time
Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose your
local time zone, click
Enable
and click the
Apply
button. After a successful connection to the
Internet, the router will retrieve the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified. If
you prefer to specify an SNTP server other than those in the list, simply enter its IP address as
shown above. Your ISP may provide an SNTP server for you to use.
Daylight Saving
is also known as
Summer Time Period.
Many places in the world
adapt it during
summer time to move one hour of daylight from morning to the evening in local standard time.
Check
Automatic
box to auto set your local time.
Resync Period
(in minutes) is the periodic interval the router will wait before it re-synchronizes the
router’s time with that of the specified SNTP server. In order to avoid unnecessarily increasing the
load on your specified SNTP server you should keep the poll interval as high as possible – at the
absolute minimum every few hours or even days.
