System time configuration
You must configure a correct system time so that the device can work with other devices properly.
The device supports setting system time through manual configuration and automatic synchronization of
NTP server time.
An administrator cannot keep time synchronized among all the devices within a network by changing the
system clock on each device, because this is a huge amount of workload and cannot guarantee clock
precision.
Defined in RFC 1305, the Network Time Protocol (NTP) synchronizes timekeeping among distributed
time servers and clients.
NTP can keep consistent timekeeping among all clock-dependent devices within the network and ensure
a high clock precision so that the devices can provide diverse applications based on consistent time.
Displaying the system time
1. Select Device > System Time from the navigation tree.
The page for configuring system time appears.
2. View the current system time on the top of the page.
