System Time Pages 25
For instructions on configuring the system time, see “Time Configuration” on page 25, “Time Zone
Configuration” on page 27, and “Daylight Saving Time Configuration” on page 28.
Time Configuration
You can configure the system time manually or acquire time information automatically from a Simple
Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server. Using SNTP ensures accurate network device clock time syn-
chronization up to the millisecond. Time synchronization is performed by a network SNTP server. The
software operates only as an SNTP client and cannot provide time services to other systems.
To display the Time Configuration page, click Setup Network > System Time in the navigation pane
and click the Time tab.
Time Zone
Time Zone The currently set time zone. The default is (GMT) Greenwich Mean Time: Dublin, Edinburgh,
Lisbon, London.
Acronym The acronym for the time zone, if one is configured on the system (e.g., PST, EDT).
Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time Shows whether Daylight Saving Time (DST) is enabled and the mode of operation:
No Daylight Saving Time—No clock adjustment will be made for DST. This is the
default.
Recurring Every Year—The settings will be in effect for the upcoming period and subse-
quent years.
Non-Recurring—The settings will be in effect only for a specified period during the year
(i.e., they will not carry forward to subsequent years).
If DST is enabled and the current time is within the configured DST period, then “(On DST)”
displays following this field value.
