System Date & Time - D-Link DSL-G804V User Manual

DSL-G804V Wireless ADSL Router User's Guide
System Date & Time
The router does not have a real time clock on board. You may either select Enable NTP or Set Device Date
and Time manually. Enable NTP uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from
an SNTP server outside your network. Also, You can choose Time Zone List by City or By Time Difference.
After a successful connection to the Internet, the router will retrieve the correct local time from the SNTP server
you have specified.
Figure 5-2. Date & Time
Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval the router will wait before it re-synchronizes the router's
time with that of the specified SNTP server. In order to avoid unnecessarily increasing the load on your specified
SNTP server you should keep the poll interval as high as possible – at the absolute minimum every few hours or
even days.
Daylight Saving is also known as Summer Time Period. Many places in the world adapt it during summer time
to move one hour of daylight from morning to the evening in local standard time. Check Automatic Daylight
Saving box to auto set your local time.
