Configuring Manual Date and Time
You can manually configure the date and time of the device instead of using an NTP server (as described in Configuring Automatic Date and Time using SNTP).
|
➢
|
To manually configure the device's date and time through the Web interface: |
|
1.
|
Open the Time & Date page (Setup menu > Administration tab > Time & Date), and then scroll down to the Local Time group: |
|
2.
|
Configure the current date and time of the geographical location in which the device is installed: |
|
◆
|
'Year' in yyyy format (e.g., "2015") |
|
◆
|
'Month' in mm format (e.g., "3" for March) |
|
◆
|
'Day' in dd format (e.g., "27") |
|
◆
|
'Hours' in 24-hour format (e.g., "4" for 4 am) |
|
◆
|
'Minutes' in mm format (e.g., "57") |
|
◆
|
'Seconds' in ss format (e.g., "45") |
|
3.
|
Click Apply; the date and time is displayed in the 'UTC Time' read-only field. |
|
●
|
If the device is configured to obtain date and time from an NTP server, the fields under the Local Time group are read-only, displaying the date and time received from the NTP server. |
|
●
|
After performing a hardware reset, the date and time are returned to default values and thus, you should subsequently update the date and time. |
