11.3 Date and Time
For effective scheduling and logging, the NWA system time must be accurate. The NWA has a
software mechanism to set the time manually or get the current time and date from an external
server.
To change your NWA’s time based on your local time zone and date, click Configuration > System
> Date/Time. The screen displays as shown. You can manually set the NWA’s time and date or
have the NWA get the date and time from a time server.
