including the MAC address, IP address, and Netmask.

utility and set it into safe mode, which enables him to manage this device with browser
again.
Synchronize clock with NTP server: Immediately synchronize the clock through the NTP
protocol and the specified network time server. Since this interface does not support
manual setup for its internal clock, therefore we must reset the internal clock through
the NTP.
