For effective scheduling and logging, the Zyxel Device system time must be accurate. The Zyxel Device
has a software mechanism to set the time manually or get the current time and date from an external
server.

System > Date/Time. The screen displays as shown. You can manually set the Zyxel Device’s time and
date or have the Zyxel Device get the date and time from a time server.
