Billion Electric Company 7300M User Manual

There are six items within the System section: Time Zone, Remote Access, Firmware 

Upgrade, Backup/Restore, Restart and User Management. 

  4.3.3.1 Time Zone 

 

The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network 

Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network. 

Choose your local time zone, click Enable and click the Apply button. After a successful 

connection to the Internet, the router retrieves the correct local time from the SNTP server 

you have specified. If you prefer to specify an SNTP server other than those in the 

drop-down list, simply enter its IP address as shown above. Your ISP may provide an SNTP 

server for you to use. 

Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval the router waits before it resynchronizes 

the router’s time with that of the specified SNTP server. To avoid unnecessarily increasing 

the load on your specified SNTP server you should keep the poll interval as high as 

possible – at the absolute minimum every few hours or even days.
