TIME SETTINGS

Your Bright Box Wireless Router keeps time by connecting to a Network Time Protocol (NTP)
server as soon as you connect to the Internet. This allows the router to synchronize the
system clock to time settings on the Internet. This is important, as it means the logs on your
router displayed in the System Log page, and any time based scheduled rules you set up in
the Schedule Rule are correct.
The synchronisation to the NTP time service is enabled by default on the Bright Box router.
The default NTP server is ntp.readytoconnect.co.uk and is synchronised to Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT).
It is possible to disable the NTP time synchronisation, although this is not recommended as it
will prevent the correct time being displayed in the System Log and schedule rule not
working.
To update the Automatic Time Server Maintenance setting:
1. Login to the router's admin pages.
2. Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the 'Please proceed with
caution' page.
3. Click on System in the left hand navigation menu to expand the System menu:
4. Click on Time Settings on the left hand menu:
router unit.
This field displays the 12-digit MAC address of the
wireless interface of the router.
