System
The System section contains instruction for setting up local time zone, updating device system
firmware, retrieving current device configuration for a copy or restoring a saved configuration file
when accidently misconfigured the device, managing your login device information or setting up
multiple account levels for others to access to this router, and send mail alert to inform you
changes of your settings.
Time Zone
The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time
Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose your
local time zone, click Enable and click the Apply button. After a successful connection to the
Internet, the router retrieves the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified. If you
prefer to specify an SNTP server other than those in the drop-down list, simply enter its IP address
as shown above. Your ISP may provide an SNTP server for you to use.
Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval the router waits before it resynchronizes the
router’s time with that of the specified SNTP server. To avoid unnecessarily increasing the load on
your specified SNTP server you should keep the poll interval as high as possible – at the absolute
minimum every few hours or even days.
