The following table describes the labels in this screen.
22.4 Time and Date Screen
The LAN-Cell’s Real Time Chip (RTC) keeps track of the time and date. There is also a
software mechanism to set the time manually or get the current time and date from an external
server when you turn on your LAN-Cell.
Pre-defined NTP Time Server Pools
When you turn on the LAN-Cell for the first time, the date and time start at 2000-01-01
00:00:00. The LAN-Cell then attempts to synchronize with an NTP time server from one of
the 0.pool.ntp.org, 1.pool.ntp.org or 2.pool.ntp.org NTP time server pools. These are virtual
clusters of time servers that use a round robin method to provide different NTP servers to
clients.
The LAN-Cell continues to use the NTP time server pools if you do not specify a time server
or it cannot synchronize with the time server you specified.
" The LAN-Cell can use the NTP time server pools regardless of the time
protocol you select.
