Configuring the date and time
You can set the date and time from the DL3D 1500/3000 appliance
web pages. Setting the correct date and time lets the system provide
accurate reports when events occur on the system. The date and time
may be set manually or synchronized to an NTP server.
Date and time configuration
Use the Date and Time page to set the system date and time.
To configure date and time settings using the Date and Time
Configuration
page:
1. On the Configuration page, click Date & Time.
The management frame displays the Date & Time Configuration
page.
2. The two options for setting the system date and time are:
• Select Manual to manually set the system date and time using
the Edit button to select the system date from the pop-up
calendar and drop-down boxes for the system time.
• Select Use NTP (Network Time Protocol) to synchronize the
DL3D 1500/3000 appliance to an NTP server. The Select a
Server
selection makes a list of well-known NTP servers such
as the U.S. Naval Observatory Master Clocks in Washington,
DC and Colorado Springs, Colorado available. The Specify
server
selection enables you to type the name or IP address of
any desired NTP server. NTP sends periodic time requests to
the DL3D 1500/3000 appliance, obtaining time stamps and
using them to adjust the system’s clock.
3. Select the time zone from the Time Zone drop-down list.
4. Select either a 24- or 12-hour time format.
5. Click Apply.
6. Click Yes to confirm your date and time changes. You must reboot
the system for the changes to take effect.
