Configuring Date and Time Service
Configure date, time and NTP server designations on the System Date & Time screen. Network
Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol that is used to synchronize computer clock times in a network
of computers. Setting the correct system time and time zone ensures that the date and time
recorded in the UTM logs and reports are accurate.
To set time, date and NTP servers:
1. Select Administration > System Date & Time from the menu. The System Date & Time
screen displays.
The bottom of the screen displays the current weekday, date, time, time zone, and year (in the
example in Figure 10-8: Current Time: Thu May 21 01:37:18 GMT 2009).
2. Enter the settings as explained in Table 10-2.

scheduling.
