 Click Apply and the console server appliance will perform a soft reboot and start upgrading the
firmware. This process will take several minutes.
 After the firmware upgrade completes, click here to return to the Management Console. Your
console server will have retained all its pre-upgrade configuration information.
11.3 Configure Date and Time
We recommend that you set the local Date and Time in the console server as soon as it is configured.
Features like Syslog and NFS logging use the system time for time-stamping log entries, while certificate
generation depends on a correct Timestamp to check the validity period of the certificate.
 Select the System: Date & Time menu option.
 Manually set the Year, Month, Day, Hour and Minute using the Date and Time selection boxes,
then click Apply.
The gateway can synchronize its system time with a remote time server using the Network Time
Protocol (NTP). Configuring the NTP time server ensures that the console server clock will be accurate
soon after the Internet connection is established. Also if NTP is not used, the system clock will reset
randomly every time the console server is powered up. To set the system time using NTP:
 Select the Enable NTP checkbox on the Network Time Protocol page.
