Netgear EDA 500 User Manual

NETGEAR recommends that you configure the basic system settings that are described in this section
before you use the ReadyNAS.

To enable the ReadyNAS to time-stamp files correctly, ensure that the time and date settings are accurate.

Select System > Overview > Device.

Click the gear icon (

 ) to the right of the Device Time field.

The Date and Time screen displays.

From the Time Zone drop-down list, select the correct time zone for your location.

So that your files are correctly time-stamped, NETGEAR recommends that you select
the time zone in which the ReadyNAS is physically located.

Select the correct date and time by doing one of the following:

Select the Synchronize clock with an Internet server check box. When you select this check box,
the calendar and time drop-down lists dim, and the system’s date and time are synchronized with
a NETGEAR NTP server.

Clear the Synchronize clock with an Internet server check box and use the calendar and time
controls to set the date and time manually.

Click the Apply button.
