Network time (NTP)
The NTP (Network Time Protocol) settings page allows you to configure the NTC-140-01 router to synchronize its internal clock with
a global Internet Time server and specify the time zone for the location of the router. This provides an accurate timekeeping function
for features such as System Log entries and Firewall settings where the current system time is displayed and recorded. Any NTP
server available publicly on the internet may be used. The default NTP server is 0.netcomm.pool.ntp.org.
To access the Network time (NTP) page, click on the Services menu at the top of the screen then click on the Network time (NTP)
menu item on the left.
