ZyXEL Device. The updated time is then displayed in the ZyXEL Device error logs.

FIELD DESCRIPTION
Time Protocol Enter the time service protocol that your time server sends when you turn on
the ZyXEL Device. Not all time servers support all protocols, so you may have
to check with your ISP/network administrator or use trial and error to find a
protocol that works. The main differences between them are the format.
Daytime (RFC 867) format is day/month/year/time zone of the server.
Time (RFC-868) format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total number of
seconds since 1970/1/1 at 0:0:0.
NTP (RFC-1305) is similar to Time (RFC-868).
Manual. The default, enter the time manually.
Time Server Address Enter the IP address or domain name of your time server. Check with your ISP/
network administrator if you are unsure of this information.
Current Time This field displays an updated time only when you reenter this menu.
New Time Enter the new time in hour, minute and second format.
Current Date This field displays an updated date only when you re-enter this menu.
