18-2 System Maintenance and Information
18.2 Time and Date Setting
The ZyAIR 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 ZyAIR. Menu 24.10 allows
you to update the time and date settings of your ZyAIR. The real time is then displayed in the ZyAIR error
logs and firewall logs.
Step 1. Select menu 24 in the main menu to open Menu 24 – System Maintenance.
Step 2. Then enter 10 to go to Menu 24.10 – System Maintenance – Time and Date Setting to update
the time and date settings of your ZyAIR as shown in the following screen.

FIELD DESCRIPTION
Use Time Server
when Bootup
Enter the time service protocol that your time server sends when you turn on the
ZyAIR. Not all time servers support all protocols, so you may have to check with
your ISP/network administrator or use trial and error to find a protocol that works.
The main differences between them are the format.
Daytime (RFC 867) format is day/month/year/time zone of the server.
Time (RFC-868) format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total number of
seconds since 1970/1/1 at 0:0:0.
NTP (RFC-1305) is similar to Time (RFC-868).
None. The default, enter the time manually.
