Configuring the 
System Time Using 
the Network Time 
Protocol
To configure the system time of the Webcache using the Network Time 
Protocol, you must enter the following information in the Getting Started 
wizard or Time Configuration command in the Web interface:
Select a timezone from the options in the Timezone drop-down list.
The Webcache automatically performs daylight savings adjustments 
according to the timezone that you have selected.
Choose Network Time Protocol by clicking the appropriate radio button.
Enter the IP address of the NTP server that you want to use in the NTP 
Server IP Address field.
Configuring the 
System Time 
Manually
To manually configure the system time of the Webcache, you must enter 
the following information in the Getting Started wizard or Time 
Configuration command in the Web interface:
Select a timezone from the options in the Timezone drop-down list.
The Webcache automatically performs daylight savings adjustments 
according to the timezone that you have selected.
Choose Manual Time Configuration by clicking the appropriate radio 
button.
Enter the current day, month, year and the current time (in 24 hour clock 
format) in the appropriate fields.
Click Apply Now as soon as you have manually entered this information 
to ensure the greatest accuracy. You cannot click Next until you have 
done this.
System Time and 
Performance 
Graphs
When the system time of the Webcache is set manually, all of the current 
Performance Graphs are reset and all previous graph history is lost. You 
should therefore only change the system time when it is absolutely 
necessary. The following system time changes affect the Performance 
Graphs in this way:
The system time is manually configured.
The system time is changed from Network Time Protocol to Manual 
Time Configuration, or vice versa.
The IP address of the Network Time Protocol server is changed.
