Setting the date and time
For effective scheduling and logging, the DFL-500 date and time should be accurate. You can either manually
set the time or you can configure the DFL-500 to automatically keep its time correct by synchronizing with a
Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
To set the DFL-500 date and time, see
DFL-500 network connections
