Configuring Date and Time Service
The Time Zone screen provides settings for date, time and NTP server designations. The Network
Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize computer clock times in a network of computers.
To set date, time, and NTP servers:
1. Select Administration > Time Zone from the main/submenu. The Time Zone screen is
displayed.
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, click Automatically Adjust for Daylight Savings Time.
4. Select an NTP Server option:
• 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. If you prefer 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.
