Use this screen to configure the NWA/WAC’s time zone and daylight saving time.
• Time Zone: Select the time zone of your location. This will set the time difference between your time
zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
• Enable Daylight Saving: Select the option if you use Daylight Saving Time. Configure the day and time
when Daylight Saving Time starts and ends.
• Offset allows you to specify how much the clock changes when daylight saving begins and ends.
Enter a number from 1 to 5.5 (by 0.5 increments).

3.2.3 Uplink
Use this screen to configure the NWA/WAC’s IP address.
Uplink Connection: Select Auto (DHCP) if the NWA/WAC is connected to a router with the DHCP server
enabled. You then need to check the router for the IP address assigned to the NWA/WAC in order to
access the NWA/WAC’s web configurator again.
Otherwise, select Static IP when the NWA/WAC is NOT connected to a router or you want to assign it a
fixed IP address. You will need to manually enter:
• the NWA/WAC’s IP address and subnet mask.
• the IP address of the router that helps forward traffic.
• a DNS server's IP address. The Domain Name System (DNS) maps a domain name to an IP address
and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP
address of a computer before you can access it.
