the Internet. The synchonized clock in the Router is used to record the
security log. To set the time zone for your Router, do the following:
1 Select the Base Date and Base Time. The Router will use these settings if it
is unable to connect to the Internet or SNTP Server.
2 To enable SNTP, check the Using Time Server (NTP) check box.
3 Select a time zone from the Set Time Zone drop down list.
4 Enter the interval, in hours, at which to want the Router to resynchonize
with the SNTP Server, at the Synchonization Interval text box. The default
is every 24 hours.

from the appropriate drop down boxes.

box.
