LABEL DESCRIPTION
Current Date/Time

This field displays the time and fate of your ZyXEL Device.
Each time you reload this page, the ZyXEL Device synchronizes the
time and date with the time server.
NTP Time Server
First ~ Fifth NTP
time server
Select an NTP time server from the drop-down list box.
Otherwise, select Other and enter the IP address or URL (up to 29
extended ASCII characters in length) of your time server.
Select None if you don’t want to configure the time server.
Check with your ISP/network administrator if you are unsure of this
information.
Time zone offset Choose the time zone of your location. This will set the time difference
between your time zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Daylight Saving Daylight Saving Time is a period from late spring to early fall when
many countries set their clocks ahead of normal local time by one hour
to give more daytime light in the evening.
State Select Enable if you use Daylight Saving Time.
Start rule: Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time starts if you
enabled Daylight Saving. You can select a specific date in a particular
month or a specific day of a specific week in a particular month. The
Time field uses the 24 hour format. Here are a couple of examples:
Daylight Saving Time starts in most parts of the United States on the
second Sunday of March. Each time zone in the United States starts
using Daylight Saving Time at 2 A.M. local time. So in the United
States, set the day to
Second , Sunday , the month to March and the
time to 2 in the Hour field.
Daylight Saving Time starts in the European Union on the last Sunday
of March. All of the time zones in the European Union start using
Daylight Saving Time at the same moment (1 A.M. GMT or UTC). So in
the European Union you would set the day to
Last , Sunday and the
month to March . The time you select in the o'clock field depends on
your time zone. In Germany for instance, you would select 2 in the
Hour field because Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or
UTC (GMT+1).
