System; Time Zone - Billion BiPAC 6200WZL R2 User Manual

System

There are five items within the System section: Time Zone, Firmware Upgrade, Backup/Restore,
Restart, User Management and Mail Alert.

Time Zone

The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol
(SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose your local time
zone, click Enable and click the Apply button. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router
retrieves the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified. If you prefer to specify an
SNTP server other than those in the drop-down list, simply enter its IP address as shown above. Your
ISP may provide an SNTP server for you to use.
Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval the router waits before it resynchronizes the
router's time with that of the specified SNTP server. 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.
