3.6. Date and Time
A variety of NetDefendOS functions depend on the system date and time being set correctly for the
DFL-160. It is therefore recommended to set the correct time and date as soon as possible. There are
three time and date options:
A. General
B. Time zone and daylight saving time settings
C. Automatic time synchronization
A. General
The Set Date and Time button allows the current management workstation's computer's date and
time to be used as the DFL-160's date and time.
B. Time zone and daylight saving time settings
The applicable time zone and applicable daylight saving time settings can be set in this part of the
web page.
C. Automatic time synchronization
A number of publicly available time servers exist on the Internet which any host can query to get the
current time and date. These can be used to automatically check and adjust the DFL-160 system
clock. NetDefendOS can make use of one of two types of time server:
• D-Link own time servers.
• Public time servers.
The details of D-Link's own time servers are built into NetDefendOS and this option only has to be
enabled for the servers to be used. If public time servers are used, the details for server access have
to be entered manually and it recommended that more than one is defined for redundancy.
