The Time Configuration screen contains the following fields:

– SNTP – The system time is set via an SNTP server. Select SNTP to disable the Date
and Time fields.
• Date – Enter the local system date. The field format is DD/MMM/YY (Day/Month/Year).
For example: 04/May/50 (May 4, 2050).
• Time – Enter the local system time. The field format is HH:MM:SS.
For example: 21:15:03.

local time. For example, the Time Zone Offset for Paris is GMT +1, while the Time Zone
Offset for New York is GMT –5.
