DATE AND TIME PANEL
The
Date and Time
panel of the
Edit Date and Time
page allows the user to modify all the time
and date settings.
The
Time Source
drop-down box allows to select the source of the time synchronization.
NTP
selects the automatic synchronization method using NTP protocol;
Manual
selects the manual
synchronization method.
When manual synchronization method is selected, all the six fields of
UTC Time
area must
be properly filled with the actual values of the UTC time.
The drop-down box in the
Time Zone
area provides a list of time zone sorted by increasing UTC
offset values. Selecting an item automatically fills the edit box with the corresponding POSIX.1
TZ string.
The validity of the TZ rules is not guaranteed. Indeed, TZ rules are subject to modification
by civil authorities.
The edit-box in the
Time Zone
area specifies the time zone rule expressed in POSIX.1 TZ string
format. An empty field means that the local time is equal to the UTC time.
The
Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time
check box controls the application of the
DST (Daylight Savings Time) rule embedded in the time zone string. When checked, the device
updates automatically the local time according to the DST rule. When unchecked, the device
ignores the DST rule.
Clicking on the
Apply
button immediately applies the settings.
