13.3 Date and Time
For effective scheduling and logging, the NWA/WAC system time must be accurate. The NWA/WAC has
a software mechanism to set the time manually or get the current time and date from an external
server.
To change your NWA/WAC’s time based on your local time zone and date, click Configuration > System
> Date/Time. The screen displays as shown. You can manually set the NWA/WAC’s time and date or
have the NWA/WAC get the date and time from a time server.
