2. From the Date/Time pull-down menu, select the local time zone. This is required in order for
scheduling to work correctly. The VPN firewall includes a Real-Time Clock (RTC), which it
uses for scheduling.
3. If supported in your region, check the Automatically Adjust for Daylight Savings Time
radio box.
4. Select an NTP Server option by checking one of the following radio boxes:
• Use Default NTP Servers. The RTC is updated regularly by contacting a NETGEAR
NTP server on the Internet. A primary and secondary (backup) server are preloaded.
• Use Custom NTP Servers. To use a particular NTP server, enter the name or IP address
of the NTP Server in the Server 1 Name/IP Address field. You can enter the address of a
backup NTP server in the Server 2 Name/IP Address field. If you select this option and
leave either the Server 1 or Server 2 fields empty, they will be set to the default Netgear
NTP servers.
5. Click Apply to save your settings.

Note: If you select the default NTP servers or if you enter a custom server FQDN, the
VPN firewall must determine the IP address of the NTP server by a DNS
lookup. You must configure a DNS server address on the Broadband ISP
Settings screen or Dial-up ISP Settings screen before the VPN firewall can
perform this lookup.
