Configure Date and Time
It is important to set the local Date and Time in your Opengear appliance 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.
Your Opengear appliance can synchronize its system time with a remote Network Time Protocol (NTP)
server. NTP uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for all time synchronizations so it is not affected by
different time zones.
You need to specify your local time zone so the system clock shows correct local time. Set your
appropriate region/locality in the
Time Zone
selection box and click
Set Timezone
