with the time server (if configured).

Current Date

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.

New Time (hh:mm: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.

field and then click Apply.

Get from Time Server

Select this radio button to have the ZyXEL Device get the time and date from 

the time server you specify below.

Auto

Select this to have the ZyXEL Device use the predefined list of time servers.

User Defined 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.

Time Zone

Choose the time zone of your location. This will set the time difference 

between your time zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). 

Daylight Savings

Select this option if you use daylight savings time. 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 

Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time starts if you selected 

Yes in the Daylight Saving field. The hr 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 2:00.
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  Mar., Last, Sun. The time you type in the hr field 

depends on your time zone. In Germany for instance, you would type “02” 

because Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1). 

End Date 

Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time ends if you selected 

Yes in the Daylight Saving field. The hr field uses the 24 hour format. Here 

are a couple of examples:
Daylight Saving Time ends in the United States on the first Sunday of 

November. Each time zone in the United States stops using Daylight Saving 

Time at 2 A.M. local time. So in the United States you would select First, 

Sunday, November and 2:00.
Daylight Saving Time ends in the European Union on the last Sunday of 

October. All of the time zones in the European Union stop using Daylight 

Saving Time at the same moment (1 A.M. GMT or UTC). So in the European 

Union you would select Oct., Last, Sun. The time you type in the hr field 

depends on your time zone. In Germany for instance, you would type 02 

because Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1).
