
Click Apply and the console server appliance will undertake a soft reboot and commence upgrading the firmware.



11.3 Configure Date and Time
It is recommended that you set the local Date and Time in the console server as soon as it is configured. Features such
as Syslog and NFS logging, use the system time for time-stamping log entries, while certificate generation depends on a
correct
Timestamp to check the validity period of the certificate.

Select the System: Date & Time menu option

Manually set the Year , Month , Day , Hour and Minute using the Date and Time selection boxes, then click Set
Time
The gateway can synchronize its system time with a remote time server using the Network Time Protocol (NTP).
Configuring the NTP time server ensures that the
console server clock will be accurate soon after the Internet connection
is established. Also if NTP is not used, the system clock will be reset randomly every time the console server is powered
up. To set the system time using NTP:

Select the Enable NTP checkbox on the Network Time Protocol page

Enter the IP address of the remote NTP Server and click Apply Settings
You must now also specify your local time zone so the system clock can show local time (and not UTP):

Set your appropriate region/locality in the Time Zone selection box and click Set Timezone
