Chapter 50 System Table 224 Configuration > System > Date and Time (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Manual Select this radio button to enter the time and date manually. If you configure a new time and date, time zone and daylight saving at the same time, the time zone and daylight saving will affect the new time and date you entered. When you enter the time settings manually, the ZyWALL uses the new setting once you click Apply. New Time (hhmm-ss) This field displays the last updated time from the time server or the last time configured manually. When you set Time and Date Setup to Manual, enter the new time in this field and then click Apply. New Date (yyyy-mm-dd) This field displays the last updated date from the time server or the last date configured manually. When you set Time and Date Setup to Manual, enter the new date in this field and then click Apply. Get from Time Server Select this radio button to have the ZyWALL get the time and date from the time server you specify below. The ZyWALL requests time and date settings from the time server under the following circumstances. • When the ZyWALL starts up. • When you click Apply or Synchronize Now in this screen. • 24-hour intervals after starting up. Time Server Address Enter the IP address or URL of your time server. Check with your ISP/ network administrator if you are unsure of this information. Sync. Now Click this button to have the ZyWALL get the time and date from a time server (see the Time Server Address field). This also saves your changes (except the daylight saving settings). Time Zone Setup Time Zone Choose the time zone of your location. This will set the time difference between your time zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Enable Daylight Saving Daylight saving is a period from late spring to early fall when many countries set their clocks ahead of normal local time by one hour to give more daytime light in the evening. Start Date Select this option if you use Daylight Saving Time. Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time starts if you selected Enable Daylight Saving. The at field uses the 24 hour format. Here are a couple of examples: Daylight Saving Time starts in most parts of the United States on the second Sunday of March. Each time zone in the United States starts using Daylight Saving Time at 2 A.M. local time. So in the United States you would select Second, Sunday, March and type 2 in the at field. Daylight Saving Time starts in the European Union on the last Sunday of March. All of the time zones in the European Union start using Daylight Saving Time at the same moment (1 A.M. GMT or UTC). So in the European Union you would select Last, Sunday, March. The time you type in the at field depends on your time zone. In Germany for instance, you would type 2 because Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1). 786 ZyWALL USG 2000 User's Guide
