Configuring system time
Overview
You must configure a correct system time so that the device can operate correctly with other devices.
The system time module allows you to display and set the device system time on the Web interface.
You can set the system time through manual configuration or network time protocol (NTP) automatic
synchronization.
Defined in RFC 1305, the NTP synchronizes timekeeping among distributed time servers and clients.
NTP can keep consistent timekeeping among all clock-dependent devices within the network, and
ensure a high clock precision so that the devices can provide diverse applications based on
consistent time.
