Time Settings
You can synchronize the system time on the WDR-3124A based on an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server or
user-specified date and time information. The WDR-3124A includes the system time in system logs.
NOTE
The WDR-3124A includes a built-in real time clock (RTC). We strongly recommend that you update the
Current local time
for the WDR-3124A after the initial setup or a long-term shutdown, especially when the
network does not have an Internet connection for accessing the NTP server or if there is no NTP server on the
LAN.
The following table describes the fields.
