and time manually.
Click
Get Current Time from PC
to use the time on the computer you
are using to perform setup. This takes a few seconds to set.

This is selected to use the SNTP server.

• If you do not use SNTP, the clock will be set to 00:00:00, January 1, 1900 when the switch is started,
and be counted from this date. Use of SNTP is recommended because the clock may become
inaccurate.
• If you use the
Get Current Time from PC
button to set the time, the time will revert to the default
(00:00:00, January 1, 1900) when the switch is restarted.
