Table 18-1 Menu 24.10 System Maintenance : Time and Date Setting
FIELD DESCRIPTION
Time Protocol Enter the time service protocol that your time server sends when you turn on the
ZyAIR. Not all time servers support all protocols, so you may have to check with your
ISP/network administrator or use trial and error to find a protocol that works. The
main differences between them are the format.
Daytime (RFC 867) format is day/month/year/time zone of the server.
Time (RFC-868) format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total number of seconds
since 1970/1/1 at 0:0:0.
NTP (RFC-1305) is similar to Time (RFC-868).
Select Manual to enter the new time and new date manually.
