DESCRIPTION
Select a time server from the drop-down list box or select Specify my
own time server and enter the time server you wish to use in the field
below. Check with your ISP/network administrator if you are unsure of this
information.
Click this button for the NSA to retrieve the correct time from the
configured time server right away.
Select a time server from the drop-down list box or select Specify my
own time server and enter the time server you wish to use in the field
below. Check with your ISP/network administrator if you are unsure of this
information.
Choose the time zone of your location. This will set the time difference
between your time zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Daylight saving is a period from late spring to early fall when many
countries set their clocks ahead of normal local time by one hour to give
more daytime light in the evening.
Select this option if you use Daylight Saving Time.
Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time starts if you
selected Enable Daylight Saving. The o'clock field uses the 24 hour
format. Here are a couple of examples:
Daylight Saving Time starts in most parts of the United States on the first
Sunday of April. Each time zone in the United States starts using Daylight
Saving Time at 2 A.M. local time. So in the United States you would select
First, Sunday, April and type 2 in the o'clock field.
Daylight Saving Time starts in the European Union on the last Sunday of
March. All of the time zones in the European Union start using Daylight
Saving Time at the same moment (1 A.M. GMT or UTC). So in the
European Union you would select Last, Sunday, March. The time you
type in the o'clock field depends on your time zone. In Germany for
instance, you would type 2 because Germany's time zone is one hour
ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1).
Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time ends if you
selected Enable Daylight Saving. The o'clock field uses the 24 hour
format. Here are a couple of examples:
Daylight Saving Time ends in the United States on the last Sunday of
October. Each time zone in the United States stops using Daylight Saving
Time at 2 A.M. local time. So in the United States you would select Last,
Sunday, October and type 2 in the o'clock field.
Daylight Saving Time ends in the European Union on the last Sunday of
October. All of the time zones in the European Union stop using Daylight
Saving Time at the same moment (1 A.M. GMT or UTC). So in the
European Union you would select Last, Sunday, October. The time you
type in the o'clock field depends on your time zone. In Germany for
instance, you would type 2 because Germany's time zone is one hour
ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1).
Specify by how many hours to change the time for Daylight Saving Time.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the NSA. If you configured a
new time and date, Time Zone and Daylight Saving at the same time, all
of the settings take affect.
Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.
