NOTE
All Opengear appliances have an internal battery-backed hardware clock. When the time and date is
set through the management console or retrieved from an NTP server, the hardware clock of the
Opengear appliance is automatically updated. The hardware clock uses a battery to allow the
current time and date to be maintained across reboots or when the appliance has been powered
down for longer periods of time.
NOTE
With the NTP peering model, the Opengear appliance can share its time information with other
devices connected to it, so all devices can be time synchronized. To do this, tick Enable NTP on
the Time and Date page, and ensure that the appropriate networks are selected on the Service
Access page.
