Time/Date Configuration
CC-SG’s Time and Date must be accurately maintained to provide credibility for its device-
management capabilities.
Important! The Time/Date configuration is used when scheduling tasks in Task
Manager. Please refer to
Chapter 12: Advanced Administration, Task Manager
for additional information. The time set on the client may be different than the
time set on CC-SG.
Only the CC Super-User and users with similar privileges can configure Time and Date.
