Network Time
Protocol
Select this option to use Network Time Protocol (NTP) for the time
service.
NTP Server Select a pre-designated time server or type the IP address of your time
server. The Switch searches for the timeserver for up to 60 seconds.
Time Zone Select the time difference between UTC (Universal Time Coordinated,
formerly known as GMT, Greenwich Mean Time) and your time zone from
the drop-down list box.
Daylight Saving Settings
Daylight saving is a period from late spring to early fall when many countries set their
clocks ahead of normal local time by one hour to give more daytime light in the evening.
State Select Enable if you want to use Daylight Saving Time. Otherwise,
select Disable to turn it off.
Start Date Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time starts if you
enabled Daylight Saving Time. The time is displayed in the 24 hour
format. Here are a couple of examples:
Daylight Saving Time starts in most parts of the United States on the
second Sunday of March. Each time zone in the United States starts
using Daylight Saving Time at 2 A.M. local time. So in the United States
you would select Second, Sunday, March and 2:00.
Daylight Saving Time starts in the European Union on the last Sunday of
March. All of the time zones in the European Union start using Daylight
Saving Time at the same moment (1 A.M. GMT or UTC). So in the
European Union you would select Last, Sunday, March and the last
field depends on your time zone. In Germany for instance, you would
select 2:00 because Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or
UTC (GMT+1).
End Date Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time ends if you
enabled Daylight Saving Time. The time field uses the 24 hour format.
Here are a couple of examples:
Daylight Saving Time ends in the United States on the last Sunday of
October. Each time zone in the United States stops using Daylight Saving
Time at 2 A.M. local time. So in the United States you would select First,
Sunday, November and 2:00.
Daylight Saving Time ends in the European Union on the last Sunday of
October. All of the time zones in the European Union stop using Daylight
Saving Time at the same moment (1 A.M. GMT or UTC). So in the
European Union you would select Last, Sunday, October and the last
field depends on your time zone. In Germany for instance, you would
select 2:00 because Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or
UTC (GMT+1).
