Setting Time and Time Zone
The EBW-E100 has an internal clock to control time-controlled events. This clock
must be set to ensure that time-controlled events are processed precisely to the
desired time, and that system messages are dated correctly. The clock can be
updated automatically via an NTP server from the Internet. During each connection
establishment, it will be tried to synchronize the time from the specified NTP
server. In contrast to the time, the time zone must be manually adjusted to the
location. An NTP server for the local network can be started on the router itself. In
this case, it is recommended that the router synchronises its clock via a WAN
connection regularly, that the inaccuracies of the internal clock is compensated by
a regular synchronisation to avoid that an inaccurate time will be broadcast in the
network.
The time will not be buffered in case of a power supply interruption!
Configuration via web interface (menu "System", page "Time")
In order to configure time and date, enter the values for day, month, year
as well as hours and minutes into the entry fields "DD MM YYYY hh
mm".
Configure the time zone of the operation location by selecting it from the
drop-down list field "Timezone".
In order to synchronise time and date via NTP server, check the
checkbox "Clock synchronization with" and enter the name of an NTP
server or its IP address into the entry field.
In order to synchronise time and date via NTP server daily at a defined
time, check the checkbox "Additionally every day at" and enter the time
for the daily synchronisation into the entry field.
In order to synchronise time and date via NTP server immediately, check
the checkbox "Update time now". Then, it will be tried to establish a one-
time connection with the NTP server to synchronise the time with saving
the settings. This enables an immediate test of the NTP server settings.
In order to act as an NTP server itself, check the checkbox "Activate local
time server". Local NTP requests will then be responded at UDP port
123.
Save your settings by clicking "OK".
