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 drop-
down list, simply enter its IP address as shown above. Your ISP may provide an SNTP
server for you to use.
Resync Poll Interval
(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.
