Time and Date
The system clock is set on the
Admin
section of the
Configuration
page. The unit comes
preconfigured with the IP addresses of two NIST time servers and is set to the Central Time
Zone (-0500 GMT). Should a local time server be preferred, enter its IP address into the
“
S
erver” box and click the “Save Changes” button. Clearing the time server addresses and
clicking “Save Changes” will s
et the time servers back to the defaults. The unit attempts to
contact the time servers during boot up and periodically while running. Until a time server is
contacted or the system clock is manually set, all log time stamps will present time as the
number of seconds since the unit was powered up.
