Setting system date and time
For effective scheduling and logging, the DFL-500 time should be accurate. You can either manually set the
DFL-500 time, or you can configure the DFL-500 to automatically keep its time correct by synchronizing with a
Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
For more information on NTP and to find the IP address of an NTP server that you can use, see
http://www.ntp.org.
To set the date and time from the web-based manager:
•
Go to System > Config > Time .
•
Click Refresh to display the current DFL-500 date and time.
•
Select your Time Zone from the list.
•
Optionally, click Set Time and set the DFL-500 date and time to the correct date and time.
•
To configure the DFL-500 to use NTP, click Synchronize with NTP server.
By default, the DFL-500 is configured to connect to an NTP server at IP address 192.5.5.250, which is the
IP address of an NTP server maintained by the Internet Software Consortium at Palo Alto, CA, USA.
•
Optionally, enter the IP address of a different NTP server.
•
Specify how often the DFL-500 should synchronize its time with the NTP server. A typical Syn Interval
would be 1440 minutes for the DFL-500 to synchronize its time once a day.
