4.3.4 Time Server Configuration
Click the option Time Server Configuration from the Network Management menu and then the
following screen page appears.
Time Synchronization: To enable or disable the time synchronization function.
Time Server IP/IPv6 Address: Set up the IP address of the first NTP time server.
2nd Time Server IP/IPv6 Address: Set up the IP address of the secondary NTP time server.
When the first NTP time server is down, the Managed Switch will automatically connect to the
secondary NTP time server.
Synchronization Interval: Set up the time interval to synchronize with the NTP time server.
Time Zone: Select the appropriate time zone from the pull-down menu.
Daylight Saving Time: Include “Disabled”, “recurring” and “date” three options to enable or
disable the daylight saving time function. It is a way of getting more daytime hour(s) by setting the
time to be hour(s) ahead in the morning.
Daylight Saving Time Date Start: If the “date” option is selected in Daylight Saving Time, click
the pull-down menu to select the start date of daylight saving time.
Daylight Saving Time Date End: If the “date” option is selected in Daylight Saving Time, click the
pull-down menu to select the end date of daylight saving time.
Daylight Saving Time Recurring Star: If the “recurring” option is selected in Daylight Saving
Time, click the pull-down menu to select the recurring start date of daylight saving time.
Daylight Saving Time Recurring End: If the “recurring” option is selected in Daylight Saving
Time, click the pull-down menu to select the recurring end date of daylight saving time.
NOTE: SNTP is used to get the time from those NTP servers. It is recommended that the
time server is in the same LAN with the Managed Switch or at least not too far away. In
this way, the time will be more accurate.
