Section 3 - Conﬁguration

The time currently maintained by the

router.

Select this option if you want the router’s

clock synchronized to a Network Time Server

over the Internet. If you are using schedules

or logs, this is the best way to ensure that the

schedules and logs are kept accurate.

Select a Network Time Server for

synchronization. You can type in the address

of a time server. If your ISP offers a Network

Time Server, that is the best choice. If there

is no nearby Network Time Server, enter a

public time server such as pool.ntp.org.

The router always fetches the time when

it is switched on and also updates its time

periodically by sending a query to the

conﬁgured Network Time Server. Here you

can select how often you want the router

to update its time from the Network Time

Server. To avoid overloading Network Time

Servers, do not specify an interval smaller

than necessary to maintain accurate time.

If you do not have the NTP Server option in effect, you can either manually set the time for your router here, or you can click

the

Copy button to copy the time from the computer you are using. (Make sure that computer’s time is set correctly.)

Note: If the router loses power for any reason, it cannot keep its clock running, and will not have the correct time when it
is started again. To maintain correct time for schedules and logs, either you must enter the correct time after you restart
the router, or you must enable the NTP Server option.
