SNTP/Syslog
The SNTP/Syslog page sets the options for the SNTP server, time zone, Daylight Saving Time (DST) automatic clock
adjustment, and Syslog server.
About Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Support for DST is disabled by default. When enabled, the date and time are automatically adjusted forward one hour
between the starting and ending dates and times (which can be configured).
NOTE: If Daylight Saving Time (DST) is enabled, all system time displays will be shown with the current DST start/end date/time settings.
The default time zone is set for the United Stated until at least 2015.
The time zone format is: mo.w.d/h:m:s, as follows:
mo = month from January to December (1-12)
w = week number (1-4) or the last week (5)
d = day of week from Sunday to Saturday (0-6)
h = hour (0-23)
m = minute (0-59)
s = second (0-59)
Setting the local date/time:
The Date/Time (Local) field shows the current DST settings. To increment the settings – based on updates to the
start/end day/time options – click Update.
Setting the SNTP primary/secondary server address:
The Primary/Secondary Host fields contact the SNTP server. The fields are populated with the external NTP pool
time zones “2.servertech.pool.ntp.org” and “1.servertech.pool.ntp.org”. These are the default names for new PDUs
that have not yet been time-set.
Enter the IP address or hostname in the Primary Host and/or Secondary Host field and click Apply.
