Time
The Router uses the time settings to time stamp log events, to automatically update the Content Filter List, and
for other internal purposes.
Set the local time using Network Time Protocol (NTP) automatically or manually.
Automatic
: Select the Time Zone and enter the Daylight Saving and NTP Server. The default Time Zone is Pacific
Time.
Manual
: Enter the Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Month, Day and Year.
Click the
Save Settings
button to save the Time settings or click the
Cancel Changes
button to undo the
changes.
Basic Setup Tab - MAC Clone
Some ISPs require that you register a MAC address. This feature “clones” your network adapter's MAC address
onto the Router, and prevents you from having to call your ISP to change the registered MAC address to the
Router's MAC address. The Router's MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of hardware for
identification.
Enter the MAC Address in the User Defined MAC Address field for Internet ports 1 or 2, or click the
Clone
button
to add the MAC Address from the PC viewing the Web-based Utility.
Click
Save Settings
to save the MAC Cloning settings or click the
Cancel Changes
button to undo your changes.
