Date and time
A time server is a server on the Internet whose task
consists of providing the exact time. Most time servers
are coupled with a radio clock. The option Retrieve
date and time automatically is activated by default
so that the dLAN 1200+ WiFi ac can automatically
synchronise the date and time.
Select your Time zone and the Time server. If you
have enabled the option Adjust to daylight saving
time automatically, the adapter automatically ad-
justs to daylight saving time.
